It appears that someone is trying to enforce IPV6 addressing only. Where
I'm at, thats plain stupid since the nearest IPV6 capable circuit is
more than likely in Pitsburgh, 3+ interstate 79 hours north of me.
Theres an option someplace in one of the (NetworkMangler?) configs to
disable that, but I don't have my hands on that doc ATM.
