link-local


My machine with 2 nics installed with Fedora 8. One nic connect to internet and the other connect to LAN. The ipv6 was disabled. How come there still has an entry link-local in the route table. Now the machine fail to connect to the internet. Is this link-local cause the problem

I think in this case, “link-local” refers to this kind of address.
