    How to disable IPv6 in 10.04 Grub2

    Re: Disable IPv6 in 10.04

    To disable IPv6 system-wide

    1. Open a terminal and type the following command (if you don't use Gedit, replace it with your text editor such as Kate, etc).
    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub (IF you use Kate or another graphical editor, launch it with kdesudo instead)

    2. And search for this:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

    Modify it so it looks like this:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1"

    3. Save and close the file

    4. Update GRUB:
    sudo update-grub

          Firefox:

          You can just disable IPv6 in Firefox. Type about:config and search for:
          network.dns.disableIPv6
          and toggle it to TRUE.

          You would not use the Grub method.
