  1. Re:putty on Deep Space 6 Publishes New IPv6 Status Pages · · Score: 1

    If you ever used IRC, you should have noticed too that you get a nice portscan, for the same reason: too much abuse from public proxies. You ring my bell, we ring yours...

    Also, SPAM-relay checkers do public port scans.
    Not even talking about the open-proxy scanners that just scan at random for breakable hosts. Or did you never get any port 135-137 connects?

    Also in a public library, even if it is public you did signed a paper, stating who you are and that you will return the books and will be honest and then you can take the books, on the internet that isn't the case, so many places protect themselves from evildoers that way.

    Psst... that's my oops;

    If you have a host which only has a A record it will still try to connect to it as being an IPv6 address. You can avoid this problem by selecting the IPv4 protocol from the "Connection" tab in the Options/Settings menu.

    Then it does work. As I've been pre-occupied by some better thing in live, which unfortunatly suddenly ended, I didn't have any time to fix it but expect a fixed version this month.

    I'll quite prolly get forced to fix it at Megabit (July 21st-27th, Ede in .nl) by a crowd of rabit IPv6 sheep, so one can actually hold it's breath until it gets fixed.
