Ok. I am pleased to say this has finally been resolved. The last few things I tried. http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Disabling_IPv6_under_a_2.6_kernel
Commenting out all references to ipv6 in hosts (shouldn't be necessary but I was desperate)
#Disable IPv6 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0 net.ipv6.conf.etho.accept_ra=0
In sysctl.conf - although sysctl didn't recognise any of 'em so I doubt that was solution
I think it was that first link that recommends: To disable IPv6 it should be as simple as adding the lines
alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off
to /etc/modprobe.d/00local (creating the file if it exists).
