You have two address, one built from mac address based on EUI-64 and one based on that RFC (3041).
You can't ping your addresses because you have the Microsoft IPv6 firewall enabled in your system.
To disable firewall filtering you must use the folllowing netsh command:
netsh firewall
set adapter "nome of your interface" filtering=disable.
In that way you can ping your IPv6 address.
I hope you resolve your problem (in case you can ask me again)
Excuse me for my (bad) english.

Dear All,
I am using IPv6 Windows XP stack and I have two questions:
1. Why it is created two IPv6 addresses on the Ethernet Interface? It should be created only one base on EUI-64, right? Next I show my interface output

2. Why can I not ping to my IPv6 addresses? I can ping to others IPv6 addresses, and the others can ping my addresses. Is this a bug?
