Hi,
I can ping6 on my manually configured local address and on ::1.
I have a Windows 2003 running VMware Server.
The VMware guest host is Centos 4.6. It is behind a Pix firewall, and has a static mapping from the public IP to a 192.168 address, meaning it has both a public and private address which goes to only this guest host.
Using the "ip" script, I get everything to run without an error.
Here's what I get:
ip -f inet6 addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436

I posted the public IP to tunnelbroker.net.
I can ping6 my host-local and global scope addresses, but not the link-local. It said 'invalid argument.'
Would somebody give me a hand?
Thanks.
