IP Version 6 enabled Orenosv
Currently IPv6-enabled version is a separate binary from the regular
IPv6-disabled version because of the OS requirements it has.
The same binary also supports IPv4 protocol, so once your operating
system meets the requirements, you should start using the IPv6-enabled
version.

Configuration
You can add an IPv6 listen port to your existing listen ports.
# IPv4 listen port
http_listen = 0.0.0.0@80
# add IPv6 listen port
http_listen = ::@80
On Windows 2000, using IPv6-enabled Internet Explorer, open:
http://[::1]/
If you are using Windows XP, the above IP address notation won't work.
You must add an alias with an IPv6 address in etc/hosts file
and specify that alias in URL.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
---
::1 localhost6
---
http://localhost6/
For ftp service, you can add an IPv6 listen port to your existing listen ports.
# IPv4 listen port
ftp_listen = 0.0.0.0@21
# add IPv6 listen port
ftp_listen = ::@21
Using IPv6-enabled ftp.exe, do ftp ::1
See also guide_en.txt for further IPv6 issues.
Notes about "localhost"
When you install IPv6 stack on Windows XP or Windows 2003, it seems like that
the first IP address that the OS returns for "localhost" is IPv6 loop back
address (::1), not IPv4 loop back address (127.0.0.1), even though
"127.0.0.1 localhost" is in etc/hosts file. You can try "ping localhost"
to see which address it's pinging.
This will cause many problems including Orenosv. Use 127.0.0.1 instead
of "localhost" whenever you have a strange problem.
Feedback greatly appreciated!
Since I can only test the IPv6 support in a VERY limited environment,
any feedback from people who actually use IPv6 are greatly appreciated.
