Re: [lwip-users] Pinging for link-local IP6 address not working

[Ivan Delamer]

Not sure about that particular error, but, if you're trying to ping 
using LL addresses, then you may need to specify the interface together 
with the address.

In windows it looks something like ping fe80::1%10 for interface 10. 
You can get the interface number if you run ipconfig.

Cheers
Ivan
