//Hello Michiel,//

on *20.03.22* at *16:30:02* You wrote in Area *IPV6*
to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"WinPoint & IPv6"*.

 MvdV> Hello Tim,

 MvdV> On Friday March 18 2022 00:37, you wrote to me:

 TS>> Let us know if it works for you.

 MvdV> Here is the report:

 MvdV> 1) I created a host name for my system with only an AAAA record.
 MvdV> Rinaldo configured that host name in his WinPoint config. Rinaldo

 MvdV> 2) I added an A record to that host name. Rinaldo polled with IPv6.

 MvdV> 3) I removed the AAAA record for the host name. Rinaldo  polled with
 MvdV> IPv4.

 MvdV> 4) I added the AAAA record back in. Rinaldo polled with IPv6.

 MvdV> 5) I removed the A record. Rinalodo polls with IPv6.

 MvdV> Conclusion: Winpoint follows the OS if the OS is configured to do IPv6
 MvdV> first if the host is reachable by IPv6 and IPv4. If only one of the two

 MvdV> What was not tested was the case that the OS is configured to try IPv4

Great! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing your experience!
