[Interest] IPV6 not working

Dear all,

I'm working on a networked application, intended for use on local area networks.
So far it works fine using IPV4 addresses for connecting.

I recently tried passing a host name instead of IP address to
connectToHost(), this failed. After more investigation, the lookup
gives an IPV6 address first, and if I give this IPV6 address to
connectToHost(), it fails with a timeout error.

Pinging the IPV6 address works, so I believe the OS/network is not in cause?

Both PCs are running windows 7

Any idea?

Thanks,

Etienne
