smorloc Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 When I log traffic, I get the following lines on the logger tab: [2008-10-28 17:13:28] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>] [2008-10-28 17:13:28] Extension: ipv6:[10.0.0.7] [2008-10-28 17:13:28] Extension: ipv6:[192.168.1.34] [2008-10-28 17:13:29] Extension: ipv6:[192.168.1.128] [2008-10-28 17:13:36] Extension: ipv6:[192.168.1.101] [2008-10-28 17:13:41] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>] [2008-10-28 17:13:41] Extension: ipv6:[192.168.0.3] [2008-10-28 17:13:43] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>] [2008-10-28 17:13:43] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>] [2008-10-28 17:13:45] Extension: ipv6:[192.168.218.70]Can someone tell me what these lines are telling me?I do not have ipv6 installed on my machine (Windows XP SP3),should I be getting ipv6 messages?Thanks,Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 You don't have Teredo/IPv6 installed. That message was... added for debugging purposes? What build version of uT are you running-- Alt-H-A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorloc Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I do not have Teredo/IPv6 installed.The version is 1.8.1 beta. I'm not sure of the build number. (I'm not at that computer currently...)What does the debug output mean?Why the <ERROR>s?Why the references to IP addresses typically used for LANs?Why the reference to ipv6?Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Dont use beta, use last stable version 1.8.1 build 12639http://download.utorrent.com/1.8.1/utorrent.exeYour unwanted error msg will be surely fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 [ERROR] displays when the IPv6 address cannot be displayed. Teredo is used to get the external/internal IP. This is something which has been reported... i.e. the client sends your IP as an ipv6 extension message, which it obviously shouldn't do when there is no IPv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorloc Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for the responses...I have upgrade uTorrent to 1.8.1 12639. I still get messagessuch as the following:[2008-10-29 09:02:59] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>][2008-10-29 09:03:02] Extension: ipv4:[86.131.168.74][2008-10-29 09:03:02] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>][2008-10-29 09:03:06] Extension: ipv4:[24.83.118.16][2008-10-29 09:03:07] Extension: ipv4:[84.203.35.21][2008-10-29 09:03:07] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>][2008-10-29 09:03:08] Extension: ipv4:[81.154.85.168][2008-10-29 09:03:08] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>][2008-10-29 09:03:09] Extension: ipv4:[82.253.61.125][2008-10-29 09:03:09] Extension: ipv6:[<ERROR>][2008-10-29 09:03:10] Extension: ipv4:[62.195.216.76]The LAN-like IP addresses are gone, which is probably a good thing.I am still confused as to what the point of these message are,what 'Extension' is and whether this is showing a problem...Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well... >< OK If you right click on the Logger tab, and browse through the three sub-options, what is enabled. It's unfortunate I have never seen this message myself. The extension protocol for the main bittorrent spec was created/allowed to have clients have the same functionality at the ore but allow extra functionality without sacrificing interoperability. If a client does not understand what s being sent, it ignores it... or maybe it replies with unknown?? The official repository for the protocol is http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0000.htmlI don't know the answer sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You've just got some verbose logging turned on.You need IPv6 enabled for that to not display "ERROR'. Is it a problem? Not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
