Hi Thiago, What you said is contradictory with both the doc from Qt 4.8 (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qhostaddress.html) and with my tests. Using QHostAddress::Any, my server does not listen to IPv6 (tested with both my client app and with netcat) while it does with AnyIPv6 (it worked again with both my client app and netcat)
I'm under Windows 7, but again the Qt 4.8 doc clearly states that "Any" is only IPv4 and "AnyIPv6" is only IPv6 Etienne > Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:13:30 -0700 > From: Thiago Macieira <thiago.macie...@intel.com> > Subject: Re: [Interest] IPV6 not working > To: interest@qt-project.org > Message-ID: <2170062.xE9WyL76lm@tjmaciei-mobl2> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > On sexta-feira, 22 de mar?o de 2013 23.34.51, Etienne Sandr?-Chardonnal wrote: >> I got it...
