It's a freebsd 7 and you didn't have ipv6_enable=YES on your last boot,
right? I am asking because I didn't see a link-local address on your ifconfig
output.  Do you have one there?

I guess you do as otherwise the following might not have worked:

Let's assume that's your box and your other box?  You should be able
to check that, btw.

So can you try ping6 ff02::2%rl0 which should make all routers reply
and see?

/bz
