Hello,
I just installed freenet6 on two machines - continuity, which is a server that I have at a colocation facility, and indigo, my machine at home.
The server at the colocation facility (accessible at 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2) seems to be working fine. That is, I can ping6 hosts on the 6bone, etc.
However, my machine at home is acting very oddly. In theory, it should be accessible on the 6bone at 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2. In fact, I can ping6 my machine from my server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping6 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2
PING 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2(3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2) from 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2 : 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=118 ms
However, I can't ping6 in the opposite direction:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping6 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2
PING 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2(3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2) from 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2 : 56 data bytes
ping: recvmsg: No route to host
However, I *can* tracepath6 from my machine at home to my server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/tracepath6 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::2
1?: [LOCALHOST] pmtu 1280
1: 3ffe:b80:2:d79e::1 96.602ms
2: suffusionsmain.tsps1.freenet6.net 133.490ms reached
Resume: pmtu 1280 hops 2 back 2and I can also do so from my server to my machine at home:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/tracepath6 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::2
1?: [LOCALHOST] pmtu 1280
1: 3ffe:b80:2:d78d::1 58.038ms
2: suffusionshome.tsps1.freenet6.net 133.297ms reached
Resume: pmtu 1280 hops 2 back 2So... why can my machine at home successfully determine the path to my server, but I can't connect to anything? Why does it always say "No route to host"?
To elaborate even further, I have another machine at home running MacOS X 10.2, which has IPv6 support. I can ping6 my linux machine from the mac:
[xavier:~] kevin% ping6 -I en0 fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792%en0 --> fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7
16 bytes from fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7%en0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.626 ms
16 bytes from fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7%en0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0.424 ms
but I can't ping6 the mac from the linux machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping6 -I eth0 fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792
PING fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792(fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792) from fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7 eth0: 56 data bytes
ping: recvmsg: No route to host
This time, an interesting thing occurs when I try to tracepath6 from the linux machine to the mac:
indigo:~# traceroute6 -i eth0 fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792
traceroute to fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792 (fe80::230:65ff:fe7c:e792) from fe80::200:c5ff:fe53:42a7, 30 hops max, 16 byte packets
1 78fd:ffbf:aeeb:1140:e0a0:408:70a2:408 (78fd:ffbf:aeeb:1140:e0a0:408:70a2:408) 0.362 ms 0.517 ms 0.273 ms
Where'd that address come from?! What's it mean?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the list archives, etc., but can't seem to find anything relating to a situation like this.
Thanks, Kevin Pfohl
