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.

This page allows you to generate and then 'register' your IPv6 ULA
(Unique Local Address) RFC4193 prefix. Note that this does not concern
ULA-Central, though this system could easily handle that too. When you
have registered your ULA prefix here, it allows others to check up if
they accidentally generated the same prefix, before using it. This
should absolutely minimize the number of collisions for ULA space. We
hope that everybody using ULA prefixes register their prefixes here, to
avoid these collisions.
