| 2 | IPv6 support in rdesktop
|
|---|
| 3 | ========================
|
|---|
| 4 | The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <[email protected]>:
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | Attached is a patch to tcp.c to enable IPv6 support. Build with
|
|---|
| 7 | 'IPv6' defined to enable it. It's so far only been tested on
|
|---|
| 8 | Linux 2.4.21 connecting to Windows XP SP1.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Since terminal services doesn't seem to bind to the ipv6 interface
|
|---|
| 11 | on XP I had to run 'netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4
|
|---|
| 12 | listenport=3389 connectport=3389' from the windows command prompt
|
|---|
| 13 | to get it to work.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
|
|---|
| 19 | dealing with so you can now do:
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | without it getting confused with an ipv4:port specification. I've
|
|---|
| 24 | also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
|
|---|
| 25 | (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
|
|---|
| 26 | non-standard port with an ipv6 address you can use the format:
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
|
|---|
| 29 |
