in that case it probably should have worked by using the scope-id as
part of the
address. So, if address might have been:
InetAddress ia =
InetAddress.getByName("fe80::20c:29ff:fe98:9210:%eth0"); // or whichever
interface is required
I've never seen EPERM as an error for that situation before though.

Hello,
The reason the IPv6 Stack requires you to specify the interface for a
link local address is because such an address has no identifying
prefix (since the link local network prefix is the same for all
interfaces and therefore the Is no entry in the forwarding information
base (routing table).
The EPERM is a rather unfortunate choice for that illegal (missing)
argument. In some conditions - (especially older OS kernels) it worked
if you had only one global interface.

Whoo-hoo! With these two bits of info and some time with my network

Sounds like a native configuration issue all right. The native

could be caused b a local firewall rule

For a Link-Local Address you might need to define the device

software, you can use a /etc/host entry.
Things weren't working for me despite stopping NetworkManager and
ip6tables, but the combo of stopping those *and* creating a proper
global address for both machines instead of a link-local address
means I can connect fine now. I'm not sure I want to try going back
to the link-local based on info from my network admin.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Once I wrap my head around what
actually happened (and try this with centos 7 using nmtui) will write
up the details and can share with this list.
Thank you again,
Bobby
