   Hello Tim,   
      
   On Tuesday June 21 2022 19:24, you wrote to Ulrich Schroeter:   
      
    TS> Oh. So is this whole IPv4/IPv6 discussion here about the idea that WP   
    TS> should try the other entry from the nodelist?   
      
   No.   
      
   The discussion is about fall back to IPv4 in case an attempt to connect via   
   IPv6 fails for whatever reason.   
      
   I have discussed this with you before. At that time I did not expect this   
   would actually happen but three weeks ago Murphy saw his chance when my   
   provider send me a new modem/router. That modem/router does not support   
   opening ports for incoming IPv6. The host name of my system still presented an   
   AAAA and an A record. So Rinaldo's Winpoint attempt to connect via IPv6   
   failed. In such a case Winpoint should fall back to IPv4 and try an IPv4   
   connect.   
      
   For the time being I have removed the AAAA record from my nodelisted host   
   name, but you can test by using the host name "vlist.eu" instead of the host   
   name in the nodelist.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
