this is one crazy problem i'm having

plenty of my apps resolved addresses to 1.0.0.0 ... after some
googling I found out that i need to disable IPv6 ... but I didnt
select to enable it in the first place .. @ system-config-network IPv6
for the device is not checked etc .. but ifconfig output still showing
the device has an IPv6 address ..

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:25:42:C6:0C
          inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::211:25ff:fe42:c60c/64 Scope:Link

I'm using rawhide .. inserting
"""
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
"""
in modprobe.conf causes my computer to hang with caps-lock blinking
when starting up the "network" service ..
