You can't connect. Thats why we have ipv6.
Currently, we have about 4 billion addresses. ipv6 increases this by a
few powers of 2. ipv6 uses 6 fields for addresses (check me on this,
please), instead of the current 4 used by ipv4.
(xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx instead of xx.xx.xx.xx where x is a hexadecimal
number)
