I have a client machine I've been trying to back up, but it fails saying "Couldn't look up the name of address: 'Some IPv6 address':No such host is known". I ping the server by name I get a different IPv6 address than the one in the error message. I'm not sure where its getting this IP.

 
Hello,

what method are you using to resolve the name : DNS, YP, host file ?

Is this method the same for both client and server ?

The name is being resolved by DNS on both client and server.

After pinging the server and client, I figured out that the IPv6 address it can't find is the Tunnel Adapter IPv6 address for the server.

Not sure what to do from here.
 
i added the server's IP it couldn't find to the client's host file and it seems to be working now. But I'm noticing an authentication warning in the logs - Conflicting NSR peer information resources detected for fot 'host name'
