Yes, the link-local address can't be used like that - TBH, I don't know why. For ping6, you need to specify the interface:
ping6 -I ethX FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB
Ah, yes, I remember that now. As I don't use v6 and I can't understand the reason of having to specify the interface, so I always forget that detail. Yes, that ping works, and then the address appears in ntop. The syntax for browsing is, or so says ntop, "http://[ff02::1:ff08:4ccb]/", I don't know why is the difference - at least, that's what ntop says it is. But it doesn't work: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at [ff02::1:ff08:4ccb]. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. But the printer does not respond to that IP by ping, either; it does to "FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB" instead. However, if I put "http://[FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB]/" in FF, FF doesn't even try to connect, I keep seeing the same page that was there previously. Obviously, I don't know if the printer is properly configured, or if my linux is. I guess it is, as I can ping the printer. But I have no idea. I also see entries in the firewall: <0.4> 2011-01-06 03:18:13 Telcontar kernel - - - [256669.247433] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:21:85:16:2d:0b:00:1e:0b:08:4c:cb:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:0bff:fe08:4ccb DST=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0221:85ff:fe16:2d0b LEN=104 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=129 CODE=0 ID=62255 SEQ=1 <0.4> 2011-01-06 03:18:14 Telcontar kernel - - - [256670.247202] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:21:85:16:2d:0b:00:1e:0b:08:4c:cb:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:0bff:fe08:4ccb DST=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0221:85ff:fe16:2d0b LEN=104 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=129 CODE=0 ID=62255 SEQ=2 <0.4> 2011-01-06 03:18:15 Telcontar kernel - - - [256671.247229] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:21:85:16:2d:0b:00:1e:0b:08:4c:cb:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:0bff:fe08:4ccb DST=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0221:85ff:fe16:2d0b LEN=104 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=129 CODE=0 ID=62255 SEQ=3 <0.4> 2011-01-06 03:18:16 Telcontar kernel - - - [256672.247220] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:21:85:16:2d:0b:00:1e:0b:08:4c:cb:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:0bff:fe08:4ccb DST=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0221:85ff:fe16:2d0b LEN=104 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=129 CODE=0 ID=62255 SEQ=4 <0.4> 2011-01-06 03:18:17 Telcontar kernel - - - [256673.247210] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:21:85:16:2d:0b:00:1e:0b:08:4c:cb:86:dd SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:021e:0bff:fe08:4ccb DST=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0221:85ff:fe16:2d0b LEN=104 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=1 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=ICMPv6 TYPE=129 CODE=0 ID=62255 SEQ=5 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
