2IPv6 support in rdesktop
3========================
4The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <[email protected]>:

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
13 to get it to work.

16rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
17
18 It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
19 dealing with so you can now do:
20
21 rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
22
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:
27
28 rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
