An odd setup. Below when I say "edit" that will have to mean doing whatever it takes in those other files to accomplish that edit. > # Auto generated lo interface > auto lo > iface lo inet loopback > > # Auto generated venet0 interface > auto venet0 > iface venet0 inet manual > up ifconfig venet0 up > up ifconfig venet0 127.0.0.2 > up route add default dev venet0 > down route del default dev venet0 > down ifconfig venet0 down > > > iface venet0 inet6 manual > up route -A inet6 add default dev venet0 > down route -A inet6 del default dev venet0 So the problem is that you have a default route for IPv6, without having anything else for IPv6. If you were interested in having it work then your next step would probably be to find out from the hosting company what IPv6 addresses should be statically configured in the above block for the venet0 interface. If you are just wanting the problem to go away you just need to not have the default route, so should remove that block above and then "ip -6 route delete default" (or ifdown/ifup, or reboot).
