Disable IPv6 for dial-up connections
Authored by: maddys_daddy on May 20, '04 05:32:45PM

I'm away from home, using standard dialup from a hotel room, and I didn't have this problem. Initially, IPv6 was set to automatic config, but to test this hint, I set it to manual, which generated a bunch of zeros in the IPv6 and Router address text boxes in the IPv6 config dialog. Reconnection went off without a hitch. There is still no address next to "IPv6 Address" in the Internal Modem prefpane, just as before setting IPv6 to manual. So the bottom line is, IPv6 made absolutely no difference in my ability to connect.
But man, I can't wait to get back home to my cable modem... ;)

The guy must have had a problem with the modem. He should use the option V.90 because his ISP probably does not support V.92 and than you get real hard time establishing connection.
Most of the ISPs do not want to update hardware just for a small gain in the upload speed at the user side.
