Warning about IPv6 and DIMES

[TollhouseFrank]

I recently signed up for a free IPv6 address: http://www.hexago.com/index.php?pgID=13

and was tinkering with it. HOWEVER.... upon turning on my new IPv6 address, DIMES quit working!

Just a warning, do not run with an IPv6 address with DIMES! It is incompatible for one reason or another!

We are aware of the fact that our agent currently doesn't work with IPv6. Can you please email the agent's log files to ohad@eng.tau.ac.il ?

[TollhouseFrank]

where does it save the log files to?

I didn't see this message until AFTER i tried to run DIMES with IPv6. Should I attempt to run DIMES with IPv6 again JUST to create a single log file dedicated to that protocol?

[Yoav]

If you can do that it will be great.
The log files are located at:
<DIMES installation directory>/Agent/Classes/Base/Outgoing/log

Thanks

[TollhouseFrank]

OK... i'll do that here later when I get back home from job hunting.

Just wanted to let you know we have start working on adding IPv6 capabilities to DIMES. Will take a few month, though.
