(usagi-users 03755) question on address use...

hi usagi folks,

in my early attempts to test, i am using a lan with a RH FC5, and one of 
our switches
running a linux26 kernel. i am working to test ping6 & ftp.

i boot both units and i see their link-local addresses being setup.
i can ping6 back and forth between these units just fine.

note there is no current ipv6 router on my lan.

so, next i setup random global addresses for each of the switch and linux.
when i try and ping6 back and forth now, i get 'network is unreachable'.

i am making the assumption that this ping6 routing is failing because 
now that i
have real world addresses that its trying to locate a route to send the 
packet to,
not finding it, i get the seen error.

is this a valid assumption or i am off in left field?

thx in advance, jackc....
