Hi Joe!

07 Jul 2016 10:00, from Joe Delahaye -> Richard Menedetter:

 JD>>> My BBS machine is part of the network.  All of my connected
 JD>>> networked systems have an internal (at least) ipv6 address,
 JD>>> including the Router.
 RM>> With internal you mean one starting with fe80?
 JD> No they all start with 2607

Ah ok ... so they are global addresses.
FE80 is the prefix for link-local addresses.

 RM>> Have you tried pinging ipv6.google.com?
 JD> C:\Windows\system32>PING ipv6.google.com

 JD> Pinging ipv6.l.google.com [2607:f8b0:400b:80b::200e] with 32 bytes of
 JD> data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request
 JD> timed out.

 JD> Ping statistics for 2607:f8b0:400b:80b::200e:
 JD>     Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Hmmm ... that sucks ...

You can try a traceroute to see if/where the packets go out:
fido@odroid:~$ traceroute6 www.facebook.com
traceroute to www.facebook.com (2a03:2880:f107:83:face:b00c:0:25de), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets
 1  2001:6f8:1298:: (2001:6f8:1298::)  2.919 ms  2.478 ms  1.030 ms
 2  gw-1470.ham-01.de.sixxs.net (2001:6f8:900:5bd::1)  41.607 ms  40.376 ms 39.059 ms
....

CU, Ricsi
