Subject: IPv6 issue?

I'm having trouble connecting to openfire on my development machine using the miniclient sample application. The development machine is running Windows 7 and hosts openfire. I can connect to openfire using the Spark client. As I understand it, openfire can't bind to both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses (This is really a Java/Windows issue, not openfire). Right now it is allowing connections on IPv4 via port 5222.

When running the MiniClient, it throws an error when attempting to open a connection. In the debugger I can see the following error:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it fe80::8454:ce93:b0e1:76b2%15:5222

It looks like the MiniClient is attempting to connect using IPv6. Is there any way to force Matrix to use IPv4?

Thanks,
Rob

Hello Rob,

the latest version should connect to all IP addresses which are resolved from the DNS server. I assume in your case you get only one result which is an ipv6 address. You should specify the ip address manual like described in the example here:
http://www.ag-software.net/matrix-xmpp-sdk/matrix-develope…

The Hostname property accepts IP-addresses and domains. When an IP adress is passed then it does not DNS lookups and you should have no more ipv6 trouble.
