The ipv6 address you see is the so-called link-local address, and is 
automatically constructed by the network adapter based on its MAC 
address; hence, it's not "acquired" from some server, and so it's 
perfectly normal that, even though there are other connectivity 
problems, the network adapter has this kind of ipv6 address.
