IPV4 versus IPV6
Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2020 3:55 pm
Is there anyway to force mudlet 4.10.1 to use IPV4 as although my computer and the mud (Discworld) is IPV6 compatible it just hangs and never connects.
According to test-ipv6.com website i get a result of 9 out of 10. The failure is the DNS sever (BT i think) is either not able or not configured to use IPV6.
I am running Linux Mint 20.04 LTS and i can get round the problem by running the following commands in a terminal:-
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1
But its a bit of a pain.
