Are you configured for IPv6 (0? If you are configed for IPv6 (options
INET6) but only connected to an IPv4 router, and the site you are
trying to reach has an AAAA record in DNS, there was a problem of the
system falling over to the lo0 interface (Oops!).

There is a fix...but I don't seem to be able to find it. 

If you think this is the problem, I'll search my archive and see if I
can find it.
