Why is my CentOS 6 system doing IPv6 lookups?

How can i fix “ ”Failed to connect to 2001:19f0:0:2a:225:90ff:fe08:f840: Network is unreachable“”

Yum insists on IPv6 addresses — CentOS

CentOS 6.5 box keeps using ipv6 so I cannot update yum

JUST DO This

At the time of this writing, mirrorlist.centos.org doesn't seem to be reachable over IPv6.

As per the man page, you can tell yum to resolve only to IPv4 addresses by editing /etc/yum.conf with this line:

ip_resolve = IPv4
