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.
