IPv4 is disabled in a connection bound to an IPv6 only adapter. /server -6 does this (local for a connection). This is by design. I'm not a huge fan of the design, but it was discussed thoroughly when the feature was introduced. Even forcing IPv4 with /dns -4 will fail to resolve a host in such a connection.


My tests contradict what you said. /dns -4 does not fail, in fact it works just like it should (which is why /sockopen should have -4/6 switch as well)

The priority mode is backwards and irrelevant... "Enable IPv6 support and prioritize IPv6 over IPv4 connections"

I am unable to do /dns like you are saying. It simply fails after trying to lookup IPv6, only with the -4 switch it works. But /goog still does not work, because I can't foce -4 (of course if I use the IP address it works just fine, but this shouldn't be necessary)
