Besides turning off ipv6, the other solution people have mentioned is to 
explicitly list your DNS servers in your network settings (even if you 
get them via DHCP).  MacFixit had an article on the problem around the 
beginning of November if you by chance have a subscription to access the 
archives.  Also, you might want to check the Apple discussions on the 
support site.  It has this thread (which discusses the DNS change and 
possibly re-doing a java update):
