2.0.12 Windows Bind Lines

[JDowny]

Seems like there is a bug with bind lines in windows, they don't seem to work as they should.

This should bind all addresses if I'm not mistaken, but it doesn't.

C:\Users\user>telnet 127.0.0.1 7001
Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 7001: Connect failed

However try on the IPv6 version of localhost (::1) and it works perfectly.

If you specify a specific address in the bind line it works fine, so for example:

Another user was having this issue with 2.0.12 as well, so doesn't seem to be anything related to my system.

Test system was Windows 7 x64.

What happens if you set options:defaultbind to ipv4?

[JDowny]

That indeed works, the tag was set at the default of "auto" which I take it selects IPv6 by default(?).

On Linux the behavior seems to be different though, on a Linux box I have the following bind line:

Using this I can telnet to both 127.0.0.1, and ::1 and options:defaultbind is set to "auto".
