Instead of disabling IPv6 on all the nodes in question you might be better off switching off Router Advertisements and investing a little bit of your time into what this IPv6 thing is.

Something on your network is advertising itself as the router, I suggest looking at it now, it won't magically fix itself.

If what is advertising itself as a IPv6 router is not the right device, disable. And while you are at it, setup one of which you know it is supposed to be one. It's really not all that hard anymore.

And as I discovered a few days ago, I can't access github.com from my IPv6 only connection, which is a problem for software development. And for those wondering, the circuit is brand new, and no, it really doesn't have any IPv4.

Good thing that Google works though, and the website of my local Grocery store does too.
