Hi Sasson, When you mention a global address, do you mean a multicast address? For example, my host machine running windows2k looks like this ...
C:\>ipv6 if Interface 2 (site 1): Local Area Connection uses Neighbor Discovery link-level address: 00-50-04-b6-21-5a preferred address fe80::250:4ff:feb6:215a, infinite/infinite multicast address ff02::1, 1 refs, not reportable multicast address ff02::1:ffb6:215a, 1 refs, last reporter link MTU 1500 (true link MTU 1500) current hop limit 128 reachable time 39000ms (base 30000ms) retransmission interval 1000ms DAD transmits 1 Interface 1 (site 0): Loopback Pseudo-Interface does not use Neighbor Discovery link-level address: preferred address ::1, infinite/infinite link MTU 1500 (true link MTU 1500) current hop limit 1 reachable time 0ms (base 0ms) retransmission interval 0ms DAD transmits 0 Should I be using the v6 address with the ff02:: prefix? I am able to ping the fe80: : link local address from my Linux machine just fine. MarkL sasson, shuki wrote:
Hi Mark, fe80:: is a Link Local address. You have to supply a scope while using such an address. I suggest you first try to use a global address and see how this is working...

I am using the Sun 1.4 Standard Edition of Java (J2SE). When I run a simple server and try to create a socket with an IPv6 address I get the following error : C:\java>java IPv6Server fe80::250:4ff:feb6:215a 1005 IPv6 Address: /fe80:0:0:0:250:4ff:feb6:215a java.net.SocketException Protocol family not supported I was doing some reading on this subject and came across a URL that exclaimed that Windows IPv6 support for J2SE 1.4 is not supported by Sun. Is this true? Has any one else encountered this? Is there a work around ...?
