-IPv6 support in rdesktop
-========================
-The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <mike@dexy.mine.nu>:
-
- Attached is a patch to tcp.c to enable IPv6 support. Build with
- 'IPv6' defined to enable it. It's so far only been tested on
- Linux 2.4.21 connecting to Windows XP SP1.
-
- Since terminal services doesn't seem to bind to the ipv6 interface
- on XP I had to run 'netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4
- listenport=3389 connectport=3389' from the windows command prompt
- to get it to work.
-
-
-rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
-
- It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
- dealing with so you can now do:
-
- rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
-
- without it getting confused with an ipv4:port specification. I've
- also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
- (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
- non-standard port with an ipv6 address you can use the format:
-
- rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
