Disable ipv6 address in ubuntu 7.10
Posted by arun161087 on September 1, 2008
I found a really quick fix today for disabling ipv6 completely on Ubuntu 7.10. We’ll simply need to change a line in one of the configuration files that loads the ipv6 module to the kernel. As of yet I have not figured out a way to update this change outside of restarting the machine.
Change the line is /etc/modprobe.d/aliases from:
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
to
alias net-pf-10 off
Again, at this point you’ll need to restart your machine for the change to take place. If anyone knows of a way to avoid the reboot I would appreciate it.
