I'm working in a local network with no internet connection, what I'm trying to
do is to connect an ipv6 network with an ipv4 network using an address
translator from the MIT. The translator asks for an ipv4-mapped ipv6 address
when comunicating an ipv6 node with a ipv4 node in the other network, where the
ipv4 address of the ipv4-mapped ipv6 address is the address of the ipv4 node.
For example, if I want to ping 172.25.79.152 from 3ffe:1ce1:2:0:200::1 I have to
do ping6 ::ffff:172.25.79.152, and the address translator would do the
translation and send the translated packet to 172.25.79.152. 

I configured sit0 like this: 
DEVICE="sit0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6TUNNELIPV4="172.25.79.152" #the machine behind the translator
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL="172.25.79.156" #the ipv4 address of the translator

If I ping6 to the ipv4mapped ipv6 address I get this:

[root@gt64 network-scripts]# ping6 ::ffff:172.25.79.152
ping: bind icmp socket: Cannot assign requested address

Thanks,
