I m using getaddrinfo() to return all assigned IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) for my local machine. I see that on XP, getaddrinfo() only returns ::1
( I installed the IPV6 stack on 2 XP machine and configured the IPV6 address and pinged the both peers. they are working fine. I check the Ipconfig its all working fine. )
I believe that Gonzalo is on the right track. ::1 is a shorthand for localhost from what I understand . . . In just about every case the IPV6 localhost ::1 shows up first when iterating through the returned list . . .
Well, in the ::1 address (or, rather, in any address, that has a double colon in it) double colon expands into the number of zero-bits, neccessary to pad the address to full length, so the expanded version looks like 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001.
In ipv6 this is the only address, that is specifically defined as a loopback address (unlike ipv4, where you get 127.0.0.0/8 for those purposes).
(Are you sure, that you are actually iterating over the result and not just checking the first element of the linked list?)
I d advise to stay away from the dual stack configurations on Windows XP and 2003. The stacks just don t play nice with each other. If you want IPv6 use Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
