Description of problem: i have problems with some fedora installations and internet connection (depends on the router propably). I could load (very slowly) some sites that were available to firefox bookmarks and my isp's home page. Other sites were unreachable. I tried to ping some sites from command line and i realized that system could reach them but could not receive any data. After some research i fixed the problem by disabling ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.conf (note that i disabled ipv6 during installation but it was not enough). So, this problem should be fixed. A new user (and an experienced i can say) will be confuzed with this situation and is really difficult to keep fedora in their pc...

Created attachment 290818 [details] Bad IP address with Actiontec DSL modem
I had the same problem. The release notes should explain that IPv6 is on by default and many people will have to disable it, and explain how to disable it. Also, there's a check box for IPv6 in system-config-network but it doesn't seem to do anything. nslookup seems to cause a single address to start working. Here's a terminal session and an attachment of the Wireshark capture. Note the address 1.0.0.0.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
