Subject: FW: urgent issue with ipv6 nmap scan

I have a requirement to scan ipv6 ranges. Example; 2607:f0d0:1104:00ac:0000:0000:0000:0000/64
I downloaded nmap6.4 since my older version was not supporting ipv6 ranges.
However I am getting error, even for simple scan without cidr.
nmap -6 2607:f0d0:1104:ac:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
setup_target: failed to determine route to 2607:f0d0:1104:ac:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
Read from /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap: nmap-services.
WARNING: No targets were specified, so 0 hosts scanned.
Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.04 seconds Raw packets sent: 0 (0B) | Rcvd: 0 (0B) I am running 
nmap on linux.
Can you please help me with this?

Thanks for your question, suggestion, or report, but I think your best bet is to resend it to the Nmap development 
mailing list (dev () nmap org<mailto:dev () nmap org>) instead.  That list is preferable for a few reasons:

o It has more than 2,000 members, so someone else may be able to resolve your question or issue instead of or more 
quickly than I can.

o Answers are archived at http://SecLists.Org and indexed by search engines, which reduces the number of times we have 
to answer the same questions.

o We use the mailing list to track issues which need to be resolved.

You are most likely to get an answer if your email includes all relevant details.  See 
http://insecure.org/nmap/man/man-bugs.html for the type of information which is frequently useful.

You can send a mail to the list without subscribing, but you will then need to read the archive at 
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/ so you don't miss replies.  Your best bet is to subscribe first at 
http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev.

Sorry for the form letter, but there are millions of Nmap users and I can't support them all myself.  But I and many 
other developers and volunteers track the Nmap dev list closely.

Cheers,
Fyodor
