OpenNetworkConnection() IPv6 bind address and port

[infratec]

Hi,

I just wrote my first code which have to set a specific outgoing port and network ip address for IPv6.
And I failed.

In my case OpenNetworkConnection() have only success when I leave the last to optional values empty.
Or

Code: Select all

OpenNetworkConnection("xxx:xxx:xx:xx::x", 5060, #PB_Network_UDP|#PB_Network_IPv6, "", 0)

this is working too.

As soon as I set a LocalPort and/or a LocalIP$ it fails.
I tried all available IPv6 addresses.

Somebody who had success

Code: Select all

InitNetwork()

Con = OpenNetworkConnection("google.com", 80, #PB_Network_UDP|#PB_Network_IPv6, 1000, "", 0)
If Con
  Debug "Ok"
  CloseNetworkConnection(Con)
Else
  Debug "Failed"
EndIf



Con = OpenNetworkConnection("google.com", 80, #PB_Network_UDP|#PB_Network_IPv6, 1000, "", 10001)
If Con
  Debug "Ok"
  CloseNetworkConnection(Con)
Else
  Debug "Failed"
EndIf

Bug or no bug

I'm on Win10 x64 with PB 5.70B2 x86

Just saw that even when OpenNetworkConnection() works and SendNetworkString() returns Ok too, I see no UDP packet in Wireshark.

So ... had someone already success with IPv6

Hi,
I would say BUG !

Why? I have 2 PCs connected via a switch. The Demo-programs
NetworkServer.pb and
NetworkClient.pb

run fine when conne3cted per default on IPv4.

I tried it with IPv6, also with your hint

Code: Select all

  ConnectionID = OpenNetworkConnection("fexxxxxxxxxxxxxxc3", Port, #PB_Network_IPv6| #PB_Network_TCP,1000, "",0)

and still failed.
The "fail" is: "yes there is some connection with OpenNetwork(), be happy" on the Client side, but no reaction on the server side. I think OpenNetwork does not cover all kind of possible faults.
Both PC run Ubuntu 20.04, yours failed on Windows, so this looks like a buggy library.

Timo ?
