If you really don't have IPv6 connectivity, you shouldn't get a default route. That way, well-behaved applications can move on to the IPv4 address quickly, rather than waiting for TCP to timeout. As a bonus, you can then still use link-local or even site-local addresses (on the same link) for NFS or other experiments. In any case, deleting the (bogus) default route should probably give you immediate relief. Frederickhome | help
