Similar to Dave, I'm no expert on IPv6, but look in 2
places. First use the Gnome menus and go to System >

look at the details. Compare with the contents of
/etc/network/interfaces. You should at least be able
to work out whether your machine was configured with
an IPv4 address.

How are your machines addressed? Statically or by
DHCP? There are Ubuntu forum posts on disabling IPv6
which speeds things up when using routing equipment
which doesn't understand IPv6.

Hope that points you towards a solution.
