That sounds like arp cache.  When you ping somewhere, it will have in
the arp cache the MAC address of the default gateway.  Can check with
"arp -a".  You will see the IP Address of the gateway and MAC address of
the device.  This will normally remember it for a small time (10 mins)
before it will remove it.

You can leave IPv6 disabled.  Not much use at the moment unless you have
a specific need for it.  What does your routing table look like.  You
can get this with "route -n".  Reading through the past posts, it all
sounds like an IP configuration problem, NOT a nzepg script problem.
So, to help further...

1) What does the routing table look like?
2) What is your machines IP address?
3) What is your subnet mask that you are using?
4) What DNS servers settings have you got?
5) Who is your ISP?
6) Is lynx (web browser) installed, and if you so, what happens when you
browse for a web page, ie "lynx nzepg.org"
7) If still not working, what about an output from a trace route.
"tracert -n nzepg.org"
