I bet you are using link-local addresses (fe80::xxxx). > vortix 112% ifconfig -a eth0 > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:69:13:DF:F5 > inet addr:192.102.99.141 Bcast:192.102.99.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::a00:69ff:fe13:dff5/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:359619 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:73360 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:28105748 (26.8 Mb) TX bytes:68866550 (65.6 Mb) > Interrupt:62 > > vortix 113% ifconfig -a eth1 > eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:69:12:69:92 > inet addr:192.168.101.1 Bcast:192.168.101.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::a00:69ff:fe12:6992/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:612 (612.0 b) > Interrupt:69 > Yep. When using link-locals you have to specify the interface because linux doesn't have the concept of default interface. Default route rules don't apply when using link-locals. You need to create an address of the scope larger then link local. You can use site locals (fec0::/8) or ULA (fc01::/8) or even steal an a global prefix [just for this test] (2001::/8) on that interface and then specify a default route. -vlad --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
