Forums Connection Issues IPv6: Connecting only works with -6 option

Hi,

I'm having issues when connecting to IPv6 servers. At the moment, I'm trying to connect to DALnet via IPv6. My internet connection is native IPv6 with IPv4 over Dual-Stack Lite (IPv4 access over AFTR-Gateway).

When I try to connect to the IPv6 DALnet Servers with:



I get "Unable to resolve server"

But when I force an IPv6 connection with



Everything works, I connect and I'm doing it via IPv6.

So mIRC is obviously doing something very wrong when trying to connect to IPv6 only servers. I think it's only trying to connect over IPv4. How do I make it connect via IPv4 AND IPv6 without using the -6 option?

Each time I'm starting mIRC up, I have to enter the -6 manually again...

Thanks for all hints!

Have you enabled "Enable IPv6 support and prioritize IPv6 over IPv4 connections" under Connect>Options>Ports?

Actually... no ^^

I was looking for such an option but didn't find it. Thanks for pointing this out!
