Firebird3 - Disable ipv6 support option when no network connection
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-6349
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-6349
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.0.5
Environment: Windows 10, Delphi 10.3.3, FireDAC
Reporter: Eric Himmer
Related to CORE-5679.
Our product is designed for use by computer illiterate people using Windows
devices most likely not connected to the internet. Based on the report in bug
report CORE-5679, support was added for ipv6 which causes a failure to be able
to connect to the local database on a localhost without an internet connection
unless a user, makes changes to their Windows settings. This is not something
our users are likely capable of doing, especially out in the field with no
internet connection.
Can a setting be added to override the ipv6 support when there is no active
internet connection? This is truly a show stopper for us. Not easy for us to
back down to FB 2.5 at this late stage. I did not notice any warning in the
FB3 description that FB3 requires an internet connection even for embedded-like
usage unless you disable Windows Media Sense by using RegEdit and adding the
DisableDHCPMediaSense key to disable it and not sure if I want our setup to
disable something in Windows itself that the user or other applications might
want enabled:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
