I don't know the details about the "old" and "new" network implementation (IPv4 vs. IPv6?), but if the old works and the new does not we should definitely change the default back to the old one. Adrian On Nov 17, 2009, at 22:13 , Stéphane Ducasse wrote:
No this is a good point. Adrian we should really useOldNetwork in the final version

Hi,
If i modify the #useOldNetwork method, everything works. Thanks for that tip.
However: is this not a 'bug' in Pharo to have ipv6 as default, since it is not working properly? With my simple SocketTest not working for instance?
Kind regards,
Bart
2009/11/16 Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu> FWIW, I am fairly certain the IPv6 changes are incomplete at best. Others have reported needing to override #useOldNetwork to always answer true, and I have noted things that are called "in the clear" when they should be hidden behind an old net test.
So far, I have done what amounts to some glorified loopback tests and have watched MC download packages from IPv4 addresses.

Dear all,
I'm using Pharo1.0rc1 Latest update: #10493, on Windows Vista , runtime 3.11.4.
Following test is going fine: SocketTest
testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverAddressForNameLocalhost |serverSocket clientSocket address|
serverSocket := Socket newTCP. clientSocket := Socket newTCP.
[ serverSocket listenOn: 6665. address := NetNameResolver addressForName: '127.0.0.1' timeout: 20. clientSocket connectTo: address port: 6665] ensure: [ clientSocket close. serverSocket close. ]
(connect to a socket on localhost)
however, following test:
testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverLocalHostAddress |serverSocket clientSocket address|
serverSocket := Socket newTCP. clientSocket := Socket newTCP.
[ serverSocket listenOn: 6665. address := NetNameResolver localHostAddress. clientSocket connectTo: address port: 6665] ensure: [ clientSocket close. serverSocket close. ]
is failing with following error: ConnectionTimedOut: Cannot connect to: fe80::6dd3:7860:93c9:46a0%10(PC_xxx),6665(6665)
[] in Socket>>connectTo:waitForConnectionFor: Socket>>waitForConnectionFor:ifTimedOut: Socket>>connectTo:waitForConnectionFor: Socket>>connectTo: Socket>>connectTo:port: [] in SocketTest
testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverLocalHostAddress BlockClosure>>ensure: SocketTest testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverLocalHostAddress SocketTest(TestCase)>>performTest [] in [] in SocketTest(TestCase)>>runCase BlockClosure>>ensure:
I understand that the above address is an ipv6 address. (the NetNameResolver localHostAddress lookup returns on my machine a ipv6 address) If i do ipconfig on my machine:
Ethernet-adapter LAN-verbinding:
Verbindingsspec. DNS-achtervoegsel: lan Link-local IPv6-adres . . . . . . : fe80::6dd3:7860:93c9:46a0%10 IPv4-adres. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.39 Subnetmasker. . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Standaardgateway. . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.138
its the same ipv6 address.
Is it normal that the Socket class can not handle ipv6 addresses ? I get a timeoutexception on it (however this happens immediately).
Is this the behaviour that i can expect ? The reason i noticed this is that I'm trying Magma, the server in a separate image but on the same machine, under ubuntu 9.10 everything worked fine, under Windows Vista it crashed, since internally it also uses NetNameResolver localHostAddress to connect to 'localhost', and i got the same connect timeout exception.
In attachment, a fileout of the SocketTest (had to create a new testclass for this :-( )
Kind regards,
Bart
