Hi Pedro, I think that there is something wrong with the routing tables on you machine. perhaps you can send the output of ifconfig and ip -6 route show to the list, so we can take a closer look. Besides that, did you really mean to use a 2000::/3 addres? that seems like a rather big chunk of address space.
Anyway, take a close look at your routing tables and if you can't find anything wrong send us a copy, so we can take a look. If you are familiar with irc, you can try the #ipv6 channel to get more realtime help. Good luck with it !
