@ -12,10 +12,18 @@ The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <mike@dexy.mine.nu>:
listenport=3389 connectport=33 89' from the windows command prompt
to get it to work.
One problem is that numeric ipv6 addresses on the command line
don't work as they conflict with the host:port format for
specifying host names. Fixes for this I can think of include:
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
* have a -6 switch for enabling ipv6 support
* change the host:port format to 'host -P port' or something
* more complicated parsing of the given host/address
without it getting confused with an ipv4:port specification. I've
also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
non-standard port with an ipv6 address you can use the format:
rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
