HI all, On the BOINC forums a user asks the following: *** Has anyone tried using BOINC in a NAT64+DNS64 network? I've moved my laptop to such network (after previously using it in IPv4-only and dual-stack Internet-connected networks), and nothing seems to work - boincstats BAM won't connect (fails with *Account manager RPC failed: transient HTTP error*), projects won't connect (tried LHC@home, RNA World and climateprediction.net, all fail with *Scheduler request failed: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data).*)
BOINC 7.6.34 on macOS 10.12.6 Dev guide: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/NetworkingOverview/UnderstandingandPreparingfortheIPv6Transition/UnderstandingandPreparingfortheIPv6Transition.html Long story short: IPv4-only servers must be accessed via hostname. The translated address from the 64:ff9b::/96 prefix is provided by the DNS64 server (using google's 2001:4860:4860::6464) IPv4 literals won't work, use high-level APIs that will work with either IPv4 and IPv6 *** If anyone has an answer to this, you can answer here and I'll forward, or you can post it directly to him at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11779 With thanks, -- Jord van der Elst. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
