Thanks for the tip Stuart. I figured it was something with DNS, but I 
wasn't sure what was causing the problem.  I also found a tip from 
Suse's web site on how to stop ipv6 from autoloading.

http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/90_mozilla_ipv6.html

The problem is that Suse's advice didn't work. After I changed the 
modprobe.conf configuration as Suse had suggested  and rebooted the 
machine, lsmod shows ipv6 is still loading.  What am I doing wrong?
