IPv6 support in rdesktop
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <mike@dexy.mine.nu>:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attached is a patch to tcp.c to enable IPv6 support. Build with
|
|
|
|
|
'IPv6' defined to enable it. It's so far only been tested on
|

|
|
|
Linux 2.4.21 connecting to Microsoft Windows XP SP1.

|
Since terminal services doesn't seem to bind to the IPv6 interface
|
2003-08-11 13:12:32 +02:00
|
|
|
on XP I had to run 'netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4
|
2004-02-14 23:54:38 +01:00
|
|
|
listenport=3389 connectport=3389' from the windows command prompt
|

|
|
|
to get it to work.

rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
|
|
|
|
|
dealing with so you can now do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
|
2003-08-11 13:12:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2017-10-28 23:24:23 +02:00
|
|
|
without it getting confused with an IPv4:port specification. I've
|
2003-08-17 09:35:30 +02:00
|
|
|
also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
|
|
|
|
|
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
|
2017-10-28 23:24:23 +02:00
|
|
|
non-standard port with an IPv6 address you can use the format:
|
2003-08-17 09:35:30 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
|
|
|
|
|
