Vista and 'localhost'

Post by Maktube »

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a problem with Vista's odd approach to networking, or just something that hasn't been picked up yet, but Vista seems to use the IPv4 version of 'localhost' (127.0.0.1) and mudlet uses the IPv6 (0.0.0.1). I was trying to connect to Vadi's 2.0 system with mudlet for the first time, and it took me a minute to figure out that it was using ::1 for the ip adress instead of 127:0:0:1 (which is what you need for vadi's, at least on Vista). Not sure if you're aware of that or not, but thought I'd post it just in case.


P.S. <understatement> Awsome client! </understatement>

Yes, known prob. Telnet works around this by trying ipv6 and then ipv4, so this should probably be added in here too.
