      Hello Tommi,              On Saturday October 03 2015 20:14, you wrote to me:               MV>> It does not work from my point 1. This may have to do with the        MV>> fact that PE are enabled on my laptop running Win 7 pro?               TK> My brand new callbacksystem reads the ip address where the call is        TK> coming and tries to call back.

Let's see.              Yes. Binkd accepts literal IPv6 addresses, but they must be encased in square       brackets.               MV>> O wait.

No way to tell it to use the manually set address?                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: 2001:470:1f15:1117::1 (2:280/5555)    |
