IPv6 address to string conversions

Anyone,
I am writting a server that accepts a list of IPv4 and IPv6 address.
The IPv4 address are padded with leading zeros. I belive this allows me to
just point to the beging and run both IPv4 addresses and IPv6 address though
the same conversion function. However, i am having a hard time finding a
simple way to this. I do not want to communicate with the addresses so i
would like to avoid setting up anything extra.
So does anyone have an example on how to convert a IPv4 and IPv6
address. from a char* to a user readable address.

i would prefer to use a built in library to do this. Like winsock2.h

i.e.
IPv4 (actually i can do this but i would like to use the same method to
do both 6 and 4) looks like 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 149 45 54 98 in the
message and I want to display it as 149.45.54.98

IPv6 looks like 254 128 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 224 41 255 254 108 142 104 and i
want to display it as fe80::2e0:29ff: fe6c:8e68.

~thank you for helping

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a mysql-Server using PHP's mysql-function mysql_connect. The host on which the mysql-server is running is not the same as the host apache and php are running on. The two computers are connected in an IPv6-network. No matter if I give the hostname (defined in /etc/hosts), the IPv6-address ("fec0::4") or the IPv6-address in square brackets ("") the function mysql_connect always prints "Unknown MYSQL-Server "....

I'm not sure if this is a question about python socket support or sockets in general ... I have a socket server with which I want to accept incoming connections on ipv4 and ipv6. I've found that if I create the listening socket with sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) it will accept connections on ipv4 (only) and if I create it with sock = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM) it will accept connections with ipv6 (only)

The System.Uri class is not behaving as I expect when an IPv4 address is embedded within an IPv6 address. The following test works fine, using IPv6 only: public void Uri_ShouldCreateValidUriFromSimpleIPv6Address() { Uri testUri = new Uri("http://:9050"); Assert.AreEqual( "http://:9050/", testUri.ToString());

Hi, is there a straight forward way of converting IPv4 to IPv6? I thought that it was just a matter of converting 32 bits to 128 bits, (by adding 96 leading 0s), but that does not seem right in some/most cases. For example, 127.0.0.1, (IPv4 localhost), does not convert ::1, (IPv6 localhost)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
