For reading afree ipv6 newsserver i did setup a ipv6 tunnel.
Now i ask myself how to configure newspro for it for it seems it cant solve the name (while it works fine under the command prompt)??
Anybody has a answer for this problem ?
Thanks in advance
IPV6 tunnel configuration with Newspro
Newspro doesn't work with IPv6 directly. You can however use port forwarding to circumvent this.
Under Windows XP, you can add a IPv4 to IPv6 port forwarding entry like this:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov6 listenport=119 connectaddress=mynewsserveraddress.com connectport=119
You can enter other values for "listenport"; you'll have to do this for example if you want to add other port forwarding entries because each listenport can only be used once.
Replace "mynewsserveraddress.com" with the IPv6 address of your newsserver and then try if it works using telnet: telnet 127.0.0.1 119
If everything works correctly, you'll see a welcome message from your newsserver. You can now access the newsserver in Newspro via IP 127.0.0.1 (or localhost). The port is 119 (or another listenport you may have specified).
