You have to specify which interface to use because each interface has a "local-link" address (fe80::/64). I learned this when playing with IPv6 on my LAN. I would have to type (for example) "ping6 fe80::4bff:fed3:badc%xl0" to ping one of the other machines. This obviously gets old fast, to which I setup DNS. You could also put an entry in /etc/hosts if that will suffice. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
