Hi Jason,
The "%x" in the end of the windows ipv6 addresses shows virtual
interface numbers, they are not meaningful outside the computer only
when you are using link-local addresses(it only works between two
links) you should ping with %x at the end. Other wise you must not use
it. thus you shoul

I don’t think the DNS problem is affecting here, because he is using literal addresses among both boxes.
Anyway, you always can use either the DNS server address provided by W2K3 stack, or alternatively “netsh interface ipv6 add dns ...

Hi Jason,
To be more realistic with your testing, I suggest that you use the link local addresses (FE80), instead the site local (FEC0), because they have been deprecated by IETF, so you will not see them anymore.
That should work, but i

Hi Jason,
I’m not sure what scope/interface is the %1, so probably you’re using a wrong one. If you can post the ipconfig /all it will be much easier, good if you can show us the ifconfig for the Linux box.
Also, make sure that you
My Windows 2003 computer has an adress that ends with a "%1" and my Linux computer has what I would call a normal IPv6 adress.
So when I try to ping either of the two together, well I can't reach them.
