IPv6 failure

lghtn

It seems the servers don't support IPv6 web addressing. This post is just for general information because many players have this issue and can't seem to figure out why the game will not work.
I got a new modem yesterday, and my provider decided they won't hand out IPv4 addresses anymore, so whenever I tried to log into the game I got an error "unable to connect to host" or something along those lines. I tried around 50 different things, port forwarding-etc, to no avail. I tried a vpn and bam, instantly connected no problem.
Long story short, IPv6 bad, IPv4 good.

Edit: to tell if you have an IPv6 address just go to the search bar and type cmd and hit enter.
Type ipconfig /all into the command console to see a list of your connected ip's. If you cannot find an IPv4 other than your 192.168.?.? or whatever then you have an IPv6 address.

I already asked my provider, they said that I have an IPv6 and they no longer give out IPv4 addresses, so i'm pretty screwed in that category. Plus IPv6 is the new IP addressing system that is pretty much being forced onto new users. There were only 6 billion IPv4 addresses available in the first place. IPv6 allows them somewhere around 6 trillion addresses from what I remember from my networking class, though that teacher was still living in the 70's so not sure if her info's right on.
As for the ipconfig, I haven't used that in like a year, so I may have forgotten. Other than that, proven already that IPv6 is not compatible with crossfire servers.
