Are those really the addresses you ping? If ping them I got somewhat
different addresses, e.g.:


# ping6 www.6bone.net
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 3ffe:2a00:100:3001::2 --> 3ffe:b00:c18:1::10
16 bytes from 3ffe:b00:c18:1::10, icmp_seq=0 hlim=58 time=278.473 ms 3ffe:b00:c18:1::10

and what is your own address? Do you autoconfigure (use rtsol?) or do
you manually configure your address?

what does your routing table look like? show us netstat -rn
