      From: boite-a-spam@plouf.fr.eu.org              Hello,              Aaron Spiteri a écrit :       >       > ;; ANSWER SECTION:       > azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au. 0 IN AAAA fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf              This is a link-local address. Also the TTL is zero, could this be the       source of the problem ?              > ping6 fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf       > PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf%en1 -->       > fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf       > 16 bytes from fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf%en1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64       > time=2.656 ms              A link-local address alone is ambiguous and does not specify a unique       destination because it may be reachable on different links connected to       the host ; so it must be completed with the local interface connected to       the link connected to the destination, for exemple by appending a suffix       %interface to it, which your ping6 seems to do automatically. Mine does       not, it requires I specify the interface explicitly.              > $ ping6 azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au       > ping6: No address associated with nodename              Maybe the local resolver discards link-local addresses because they are       ambiguous. Did you try with a global or unique local address instead ?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
