Hello Kees,

On Saturday December 08 2018 18:23, you wrote to me:

I was not harping on D'Bridge, I was trying to pinpoint the source of the problem by elimination. The inner workings of D'Bridge have always been treaetd as if they are state secrets. So I had to work on a minimum of knowledge.

OK...

When encountering problems, it is always a good strategy to try the latest version. Whether one needs it or not. The latest version is the only one that is maintained.

The way it looks now, is that the version of binkd that Ward used was the exception. Despite the fact that it showed the IPv6 compile option was used, it would not do IPv6. So replacing it was NOT useless in tracing the problem.


Cheers, Michiel
