IPv6 support in rdesktop
3
========================
4
The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <mike@dexy.mine.nu>:
6
Attached is a patch to tcp.c to enable IPv6 support. Build with
7
'IPv6' defined to enable it. It's so far only been tested on
8
Linux 2.4.21 connecting to Windows XP SP1.
10
Since terminal services doesn't seem to bind to the ipv6 interface
11
on XP I had to run 'netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4
12
listenport=3389 connectport=3389' from the windows command prompt
16
rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
18
It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
19
dealing with so you can now do:
21
rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
23
without it getting confused with an ipv4:port specification. I've
24
also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
25
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
26
non-standard port with an ipv6 address you can use the format:
28
rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
