If you modify /etc/resolv.conf and add public name servers that support IPv6, you will bypass any problems such as you describe. I use Google's name servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Why is that?
If using IPv6 servers breaks my setup because I have no IPv6 internet, how setting a nameserver that gives me IPv6 addresses can help me?
What I need is *no* IPv6 name resolving.
Maybe doing what I do will satisfy you: #cat /proc/cmdline ... ipv4only=1 ... I have no idea whether that's a SUSE-only option. When I don't forget, I also strip all ipv6 lines from /etc/hosts. Other than seeing "...eth0: no IPv6 routers present" during boot and in the menu.lst entries, I rarely see evidence of existence of IPv6. Maybe setting network.dns.disableIPv6 = true in Firefox would be worth a try. Also check that network.http.fast-fallback-to-IPv4 isn't false. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
