I am also having this problem.

I am almost positive it is not a router issue but an ISP issue. My reasoning is this. When I use my ISP's dns wget will not work. However if do wget -4(which forces ipv4) it does work. Further, if I switch the DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf to a ipv6 capable DNS server, then wget works fine without needing the -4 switch.

Therefore, it appears very likely to not be a router issue, but to be specific DNS servers not supporting the IPv6 requests coming from Ubuntu.

I would just like to add my support for the call that there is a simple way to disable ipv6 for those of us who have no need for it.
