Hello I've got two prefixes, one /48 and one /64 let's say these two 2001:db8:0815::/48 2001:db8:4711:cafe::/64 the router has on it's ethernet interface the following to IPv6 addresses: 2001:db8:0815::1/48 2001:db8:4711:cafe::1/64 a windows box has 2001:db8:0815::17/48 and 2001:db8:0815::1 as it's gateway a linux box has 2001:db8:4711:cafe::11/64 and 2001:db8:4711:cafe::1 as it's gateway why can only the router do ping6 2001:db8:0815::17 and not the linux box? is there a missing IPv6 route? Thanks, Walter
