There's not a lot of point taking actions like disabling IPv6 until you
actually know what the cause of the problem is (though I suppose a few
likely-sounding actions are worth taking if they don't require much
effort). Sounds to me like you need to get WireShark or some similar
protocol analyzer on the network and determine what traffic is passing
across the network.
