Firstly to check that IPv6 is running run
netstat -an | grep udp6
If you get any results you still have IPv6 running
You need to edit the aliases file.
sudo vi /etc/modprobe/aliases
Look for the line that says the following
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
I commented this line out with a #
then added the following just below it
alias net-pf-10 off
I did the same for appletalk and ipxI also removed all IPv6 references from my hosts file. This isn't required but I like my system clean and I do use my hosts file so if I see those unused entries there it worries me.
After a reboot when you runnetstat -an | grep udp6
You should not see any results returned and IPv6 will be off.
