[SOLVED] Can ping IP addresses, but can't ping URLs

Output when running ping -c 3 8.8.8.8:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=22.0 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=46 time=29.4 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=46 time=22.8 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 22.067/24.757/29.401/3.297 ms

Output when running ping -c 3 archlinux.org:

I've tried editing resolv.conf, to no avail (though I could just be doing it wrongly).

do you have ipv6 properly configured? the ping of the DNS is using ipv6, while your ip ping is using ipv4

Re: [SOLVED] Can ping IP addresses, but can't ping URLs

After a bit of poking around, I've found that either my router or my ISP doesn't support IPv6. My IPv4 connection is working fine, though. Thank you!
