I have the Border router set up and working it seems, and the client/host on the same network and ping it - but it knows
itself as the interface only ? (fe80+MAC)

How do I convince the client that it is actually 2002:cb01:6006::2
I can't discover how to put a 2002 address onto the rl0 interface. I know I know,. ifconfig - but it doesn't seem to
make any difference ?

OK. From nanguo. (the client)   Note it gives the source as the INTERFACE (rl0)
$ping6 ruby
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::210:b5ff:fee4:4386%rl0 --> 2002:cb01:6006::1
16 bytes from 2002:cb01:6006::1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.773 ms


A ping6 from ruby to nanguo the client, just times out.

HOWEVER - a ping6 to the interface works?
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::240:5ff:fe4e:a982%ed0 --> fe80::210:b5ff:fee4:4386%ed0
16 bytes from fe80::210:b5ff:fee4:4386%ed0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=1.651 ms


In short - I can't see what I need to do here.
.............................................
client to router works.
ping6 ruby
ftp ruby
telnet ruby
all connect, and show the source address as the fe80+mac, but understand the address its going to correctly. 2002
address.

router to client.
Only works if I connect to the client using it's fe80+mac address ? It just doesn' want to know about the 2002 address.
............................................

 How the heck to I get a 2002 address onto an interface on the client? and have it known about....

Thanks for the assistance folks. This is a real struggle. If I just put the fe80+mac addresses in the dns it would
probably work fine - but would anything else then know abut it?


ah well. I guess I'd better give it away and do something else.
cheers
Robert
