Do both machines have IPv6 addresses? `ip -6 addr` Can the machines ping each other's IPv6 addresses? `ping6 fdb5:60da:9b8a:1:250:56ff:fea8:27e2` [assuming they are on the same subnet] About this... I really hate it if I some day need to start to use addresses like this in my home network.:-( Just add them to your hosts file. They work fine that way. BTW, what the heck is that address? It looks similar to a "unique local" address, but all those are supposed to start with fc00 or fd00. I have no idea were fdb5 might have come from. Incidenatlly, I have no problem using ssh -X over either IPv4 or IPv6 here. I have IPv6 enabled on all my computers and also to the internet. Forgot to mention, that ssh -X included both to and from an 11.3 system. So, there's no problem with that and 11.3 over either IPv4 or IPv6.
I communicate mostly from openSUSE 11.2/11.3 with CentOS5 servers. IPv6
works fine there as well.
