No.

The discussion is about fall back to IPv4 in case an attempt to connect via IPv6 fails for whatever reason.

I have discussed this with you before. At that time I did not expect this would actually happen but three weeks ago Murphy saw his chance when my provider send me a new modem/router. That modem/router does not support opening ports for incoming IPv6. The host name of my system still presented an AAAA and an A record. So Rinaldo's Winpoint attempt to connect via IPv6 failed. In such a case Winpoint should fall back to IPv4 and try an IPv4 connect.

For the time being I have removed the AAAA record from my nodelisted host name, but you can test by using the host name "vlist.eu" instead of the host name in the nodelist.


Cheers, Michiel
