Freenet6 routing troubles

[Mark Drayton]

Hi

I am trying to get my linux box connected to 6bone via Freenet6. I have
downloaded the script from Freenet6 and changed default to ::0/0 (also
tried ::/0) and run it, but I still can't ping6 a remote address or even
the other end of the tunnel (ie the Freenet6 address). Pinging eth0 on the
IPv6 address I got from Freenet6 works fine.

[root@ipv6 /root]# ping6 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:746
PING 3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:746(3ffe:b00:c18:1fff::746) 56 data bytes
>From ::1: Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
(pinging Freenet6 end of tunnel)

[root@ipv6 /root]# route -A inet6 -n

I have spent days messing about with this, reading all the documentation I
can find. Why does the Freenet6 script set up two tunnels whereas Peter
Bieringer's docs only set up one?

Also, eth0 seems to be bound to an IPv6 address when the machine is
booted:

[root@ipv6 /root]# ifconfig 
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:CC:D0:AB:74  
          inet addr:195.26.32.63  Bcast:195.26.32.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2a0:ccff:fed0:ab74/10 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

What is this fe80::2a0:ccff:fed0:ab74/10 address?

Thanks for any answers
