Using mono socket with IPv6 and TCP
I'm trying to use a mono System.Net.Socket to connect to a server using IPv6, but it appear that in the current version of mono, TCP is incompative with this AddressFamily. Is there a workaround? Might it be because the mono version bundled with Unity is not the latest?
Here's the simplest way to reproduce this behaviour:
TcpClient c = new TcpClient(AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6);
// SocketException: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.
Thanks.
I would like to ask if there are any solution to this question yet? I have the same problem, a IPv6 system but couldnt make a program in Unity to connect to it. :(
Are you sure the address you're supplying is an IPv6 address?
Its not a matter of supplying a Ipv6 address, but just that the code above won't compile on my ipv6 ready workstation and throw the same exception. As if only my unity3d install won't recognize that my OS has ipv6 available. Got it?
Also, this is another thread Ive made about it: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/242101-IPv6-anyone
Just to let you know, the code above works perfectly on Linux Ubuntu 12.04, but not on my Windows 7 stations. I am clueless.
Try using ".Net 2.0 subset" in the api compatibility in the player settings. We had it originally as ".Net 2.0" and we were getting the "incompatible address" error. Changing it to the subset lets you use a hostname properly (as well as resolve them using Dns.GetHostEntry())
