IPv6 Issues (Linux)
I'm not sure whether this is a programming issue or a networking one, so I'm going to cross-post this all over the place.
Even though I can ping6 the IP addresses of the machines on my private network (only two machines connected by a hub), I can't connect to the daytime servers that I've set up. Even if I am trying to connect to a server from the local machine (the machine currently running the client), I can only connect with the loopback address (::1). I have no way of connecting to the ipv6 addresses of the remote machine (the machine not running the server at the moment). Despite all this, IPv4 addresses work normally.
if necessary, I can provide the entire (unmodified) code I am currently using (the more I modify it, the less I can show) or if this is a networking issue, I can provide any applicable readouts.
EDIT: the error message is -- socket or connect failed for [ip address] port [port number]
the bracketed values are filled in, obviously
