Hello,

I testing with my new IPv6 network and see, that ipv6 support is not available.

I found on the webside a project that ported the new protocol for tightvnc:

http://www.tightvnc.com/related.html (on the bottem)

Can some integrated this?

Hi

The sources that they have used are available, however it is not
based on the same version of tightvnc so someone need to make
a minimalistic patch and test it before I apply it.

The procedure is as follows:
* Download the tightvnc sources from Debian.
* Download the ipv6 enabled version.
* grep -rn "Changes to support IPv6" in the sources for ipv6 enabled
  version.
* Merge those changes to the tightvnc sources and make a diff against
  the original debian tightvnc source.
* Finally compile and test this so that it works well.

This task should not be that hard, but it probably take some
time, especially as tightvnc takes some time to compile.

Best regards,

// Ola

Hello Thomas,

Unfortunately, the link you provided does not work any more.

Besides of this Thightvnc is old software. Upstream does not maintain
Thightvnc on Linux any more. Thus, do not expect IPv6 support
to show up in Tightvnc.
