I haven't seen code in ange-ftp or any ChangeLog entry solving this problem. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem as described. On my GNU/Linux machine, the ftp client doesn't try the different IP addresses when IP6 is enabled. Instead of, it simply says magdalene:~> ftp ftp.nluug.nl ftp: connect: Invalid argument Should be acceptable, because my router doesn't support IP6 either. Checking the original poster's message, he was working with GNU Emacs 21.3.50.10 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0). I fear further analysis must be done on such a system. Or somebody could provide me temporary access to such a beast.
