Re: Can't ping a Windows computer on Linux

Hi Jason,

The "%x" in the end of the windows ipv6 addresses shows virtual interface
numbers, they are not meaningful outside the computer only when you are
using link-local addresses(it only works between two links) you should ping
with %x at the end. Other wise you must not use it. thus you should use the
site local address(fec0:......) of the windows client without the "%1" part.

I wish it would work...
