You need to specify the scope identifier in addition to the link local address. The "ipconfig" command will document addresses in the format:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::204:23ff:fe4a:f8c7%7 The indicator "%7" is the scope identifier of your link (your system may use a different value). You should then use this in the ping command, as in: ping fe80::xxxxx%7 -- Christian Huitema > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Takeo Shibata > Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 4:17 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Ping6 Problem with link local address > > Hi, I try to implement the simple ipv6 intranet > among the pcs within the same network. > So I use the link local address starting with fe80:: > > The environment is the following > PC1 - WinXP SP1 > PC2 - Win2003Server with Port Filtering(TCP) > > Symptom > Both PC can ping6 to itself. > But when those pc try to ping6 to the other pc. > It is rejected. > All the other PCs including router does not accept IPv6. > But those pcs are connected via a HUB. > > When I try to ping6 to other the following error > ping6 fe80::xxxxx NG > ping6 -s fe80::xpxxxx fe80::2003xxxx > > Parameter problem. > Specify correct scope-id or use -s [EMAIL PROTECTED] source address > > Could somebody give me tips, > Thank you > > Tak > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > IETF IPv6 working group mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
