That is a link local address and harmless. > The output from "netstat -nr -f inet6" is quite long. The entries in the > Gateway column are '::1', 'lo0', 'link#1', and 'fe80::1'. Check for a line starting with "default" - you should not have that. However, the fe80::1 probably points at your router, claiming to be a IPv6 router, which it isn't (if as you say IPv6 is disabled). A router that offers a route but then doesn't properly forward IPv6 packets is broken and should be fixed. Martin
