IPv6 - Failed to get server address

Post by joerg04 »

I need to use IPv6 on client and server side, so I downloaded the special version, applied IPv6 option on server side.
If I hover over the tray icon it shows the correct addresses.

Whenever I try to connect over internet connection I get:

"Failed to get server address !" message, the other window, still "Status" -> "Connecting..."

Things I tryed:
- different formats for IP (use brackets, double colon, no port)
- setup hostname in hosts file
- developer version (1.5) of the client (server: 1.4.3.6)
- cli options

with no success. But: If I try a different client (realvnc) it works out of the box, though, so maybe I just do something trivial wrong.

Both systems are Windows 10. As I said it seems to work with a different client, but that seems to be too slow to use... Albeit the internet connection is quite good (speedtest: 10MBit on both sides, fiber network)

actually I got it working now with:
- IPv6 client - seemed to miss to use the special one :(
- used a hostname instead of IPv6 number with port
