Hi,

I checked. Indeed there is a single point where the software processes the adress that is not working for IPv6. Basically pretty easy to fix, ONCE I find or build the necessary header files to use WinSock2 under Delphi 2007 ...

Best,
Tim

MvdV>> 2) Does Winpoint support IPv6?

28 02 22 17.56.29 HOST Connecting to host v6.fidonet.fi:24554

Apparently not.

Indeed. Will check soon.

Great! Over the years I have asked several developers to make their software IPv6 compatible. Sometimes these requests were honoured and sometimes they were not. But no one has ever been as quick as you. Just TWO days. Remarkable. :)

I assume you can just obtain Winpoint version 401.1 from the same source where you got your present version. So just update to the latest version and you should see it work when you poll my system...

It is available as a binary only (including language files - just in case) from

http://winpoint.org/wpoint_402_1.zip

Just drop the files into the installation directory. I did not create an installer because I have back problems since yesterday. Probably I have been sitting for too long ...

1e I get an error (can't wite the lang_.ini file) if the box with language choice in options is empty, no language selected.
Because it's written to the Program files/Winpoint dir.
