Trouble with Ipv6 link-local addresses.

[Joel Bryan Juliano]

Hi,

I'm trying to ping the ipv6 link-local address of my network, but I get an
"connect: invalid argument" message.

joelbryan at joelbryan-laptop:~$ ping6 fe80::208:2ff:fecf:2606
connect: Invalid argument

but I have no problem pinging my public ipv6 address

joelbryan at joelbryan-laptop:~$ ping6 2001:5c0:8fff:ffff:8000:0:7c68:c47

Is there something I need to add to ping other link-local ipv6 network?
