Network config on FreeBSD 5.1 - Help!

[aussie gal]

Yeah - I have read it.
 
when I do the ifconfig i get:
 vr0:  flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:..[hexidecimal ipv6 address]%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopid 0x1
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff0000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:0e:a6:.. [hexidecimal ipv4 address] 
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
status: active

The one thing that I noticed was that the example on the website has all the addresses in non-hexcedecimal format and my output has them all in hex ipv6/4.  
 Do I really need ipv6?  If not, how do I get rid of it or does it matter?
 
This poses a problem because I am suppose to include my IP address as per the example on the website:
 
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_dc1="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP"
 
BUT these addresses are not in hexidecimal whereas my inet #s are.
 
Any ideas what is going on here?
 
Btw, my rc.conf file includes the following:
 
font8x14 ="NO"
font8X16 = "NO"
gateway_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
nfs_client_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
saver="rain"
 
scrnmap="NO"
usbd_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="YES"
#ifconfig_vr0="inet6 hex address netmask 255.255.255.0"
#ipv6_enable="NO"
hostname= "..."
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="bellnet.ca"
sendmail_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
tcp_extensions="YES"
hostname="..."
ifconfig_vr0="DHCP"
 
 
Thanks!
