Problem with IPv6 servers

[Sebax]

I've tryed to connect an eggdrop 1.6.15 to an IPv6 server, like I've done in the past with eggdrop with patch for IPv6 support.
The bot start and link to the botnet, but when it tryes to connect the server, it resolve server host with IPv4 dns, so it don't connect.

• set servers {
  irc6.edisontel.it:6667
  irc6.ngnet.it:6667
  }

and then...

• [02:38] Trying server irc6.ngnet.it:6668
  [02:38] Failed connect to irc6.ngnet.it (DNS lookup failed)
  [02:38] Trying server irc6.edisontel.it:6668
  [02:39] Timeout: connect to irc6.edisontel.it

irc6.edisontel.it don't give error because there's an associated IPv4...
How can I set to use IPv6 (for server) and not IPv4?
Thanks, Sebastiano

Have you followed the format of the new config file

Here is the section from the new IPv6 version of the config file

Code: Select all

set servers {
  you.need.to.change.this:6667
  another.example.com:7000:password
  {[3ffe:1234:2345::ABCD]}
  {[3ffe:1234:2345::BCDE]:6668}
  {[3ffe:1234:2345::CDEF]:6667:password}
}

In the config file I have ace only the first 2 lines, the others were not writed and explained. The eggdrop is the official 1.6.15, downloaded from ftp.eggheads.org, and compiled on my machine.
I've tryed different setting, like you wrote me, but the result are error of connection and with dns lookup...

Code: Select all

set servers {
    {[2001:6b8:0:700::1]:6667}
    {[2001:750:2:0:202:a5ff:fef0:aac7]:6667}
}
with this error...
[13:31] Trying server [2001:6
[13:31] Failed connect to [2001 (DNS lookup failed)

set servers {
    [2001:6b8:0:700::1]:6667
    [2001:750:2:0:202:a5ff:fef0:aac7]:6667
}
with the same error...
[13:35] Trying server [2001:6
[13:35] Failed connect to [2001 (DNS lookup failed)

set servers {
    {2001:6b8:0:700::1:6667}
    {2001:750:2:0:202:a5ff:fef0:aac7:6667}
}
with error...
[13:44] Trying server 2001:6
[13:44] Failed connect to 2001 (Invalid namespace)

set servers {
    2001:6b8:0:700::1:6667
    2001:750:2:0:202:a5ff:fef0:aac7:6667
}
and the last test... same error...
[13:46] Trying server 2001:6
[13:46] Failed connect to 2001 (Invalid namespace)

I do not know more what to try, or I badly interpret the sintax that you have shown to me or is some error...
Thanks for the help

Normally (works for me) all you have to do is....

set servers {
irc.homelien.no:6667
}

works fine here
