so, on alphacent:
   ifconfig:
       .
       .
   wlp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
    19         inet 192.168.12.148  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.12.255
    20         inet6 2607:fb91:2d15:c913:ad69:ea89:d38b:7bdc  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<glob
    21         inet6 fe80::4a29:6810:625:19d  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
    22         inet6 2607:fb91:2d15:c913:4d94:954d:ef54:184b  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x0<g
       .
       .

on aldeberon:
    ping 2607:fb91:2d15:c913:ad69:ea89:d38b:7bdc [0% packet loss]
    ping fe80::4a29:6810:625:19d                 [100% packet loss]
    ping 2607:fb91:2d15:c913:4d94:954d:ef54:184b [0% packet loss]

aaarrrghhh!
all of a sudden, ping alphacent is also successful.
thanks for your help.
i give up.
