That is not the mapped address, but the compatible address. You cannot just add a route to ::172.25.79.152; you also have to enable the automatic tunneling (sit0 device), which configures the address for you. Also, '-I eth0' is redundant. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks.
