Hi,

    Iam working on "Red Hat Linux release 7.2", I have an interface configured with ipv6 address "fe80::203:baff:fe14:4747/10". Iam trying to open a TCP socket on that interface and bind with it, but bind() call is failing, if iam using getsockopt( SO_ERROR), iam getting error as "0". What could be the problem, Is there any configuration we need to done.

  Note: by the way, same programm is running fine for loopback address (::1) and in_addr_any (::).  can you please help me sorting out the problem.

 

Thanx,

Jags
