 The ipv6 button on the software is the button POLL. If the other site does not respond on the ipv6 call, winpoint hangs on the terminalscreen expecting a ipv4 call.

Don't know how to explain but what are possble other reasons outsite the program  WP hangs?

{
try
 call ipv4
  if(failed)
   call ipv6

simplyfied code
