xp_ipv6 will not start on XP

Post by Vort »

Hello.

"uvnc_1211.zip\32\xp_ipv6\winvnc.exe" binary can't be started on Windows XP because of missing "inet_ntop" and "inet_pton" functions in "ws2_32.dll".

When I have changed this calls like in this solution:
Stack Overflow: What is the Windows XP equivalent of inet_pton or InetPton?
and manually recompiled the sources (r1067), ipv6 support started to work (tested with local addresses like "fc00:1::1" [but hosts file was needed to be altered to map this address to domain name]).

P.S. Maybe you can start compile XP versions without SSE requirements? (it is possible to set up MSVC compiler with this option: "/arch:IA32")

Hello,

we test the vnc server xp_32_ipv6 version, it starts and works (we tested with ipv4 only yet), but it does not send good data when file transfer or chat used with SecureVNC dsm encryption (with old interface, old SecureVNCPlugin.dsm v1.0.2.0). Maybe the plugin extra msg type int missing?

We tried the latest ipv6 exe (official too), but the ipv6 connection is not working for us:
winvnc.exe -ID:1001 -connect 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8 -run or
winvnc.exe -ID:1001 -connect 0001:0002:0003:0004:0005:0006:0007:00008 -run
We tested the repeater with telnet successfully.
We enabled the file log, but there is no any log. The Windows's EventLog is empty too.
If the Ipv6=0 it is start but it does not connect with repeater. There is tray icon. List All Clients: empty.
If the Ipv6=1 it is start but after 2-3 seconds it close itself. There is no tray icon.

Any idea?

Another test: (1.2.1.2) the ipv4 only version works good, but the ipv6 version drops the connection on ipv4 only network.
with older viewer (1.2.1.1). We used repeater mode 2 with ipv4 ip address 1.2.3.4
