Remove the failing socket in CSocketIO::accept(), or RW> not binding to both PFs at all on linux? Took further investigations: The docs for linux and Tru64 say it is not allowed to bind to the same address && port for IPv4 and IPv6. And as we can see from our (some what more instrumented) code CSocketIO::bind() already failes when binding the socket with errno 98 (address already in use). So this is the place for closing and removing the socket. It doesn't matter which one of the sockets is used for binding, linux will route all connection attempts from IPv4 and IPv6 to our socket. So the problem seems to be solved now (?). I'll commit my changes... -- Best regards, Richard mailto:r.wirth at wirthware.de
