Problem with SSH connection for build and debug

[Han Vertegaal]

Hi,

When trying to build a project I sometimes get the following message:
“Warning cannot perform inline build: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used [… some IPV6 address …]”
A similar message sometimes appears when I press the button to the right of the ‘Remote computer used for building and debugging’ in the VisualGDB Project Properties. It also happens when I try to connect using SmarTTY.
Rebooting the remote usually helps, but it is annoying nevertheless.
Any idea why this would occur, and how to prevent it?

Thanks

Hi,

Currently VisualGDB and SmarTTY do not support IPV6. The upcoming versions however will.
The problem occurs because sometimes the Windows network connection chooses to use IPV4 and sometimes IPV6, whenever it chooses to use IPV6 then you will get the error. You can try disabling the usage of IPV6 from Network Connections under Windows.

Thanks. I disabled DNSv6 advertisement (RFC 5006) in my router, and that seems to work.
