It's technically not the most beautiful way and misses some features of true IPv6 but it works. It may also be useful to by-pass filters. > The machine is running a generic Ubuntu kernel configuration, so IPv6 support > *is* available in the kernel. > Was disabling IPv6 support in GtkG a mistake? It depends. If you're willing to test Gtk-Gnutella with IPv6 disabled, that's fine. If you rather prefer a stable Gtk-Gnutella, don't disable it because IPv6 is enabled by default and that's what everybody uses. This option is just there for machines that have no IPv6 support whatsoever i.e., wouldn't be able to compile Gtk-Gnutella otherwise, and for machines that have very broken IPv6 support e.g., panic if you actually try to use IPv6. If you have no IPv6 connectivity, just disable it at runtime like any other option. Actually, IPv4-only is even the current default. Albeit this will be changed to IPv4+IPv6 somewhen. I've also ripped out any "optimizations" for IPv4 compilations because those were too hard to maintain and caused a lot of bugs. So there's virtually no advantage whatsoever if you disable it. That said, this bug should be fixed of course, so thanks for reporting it. -- Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
