making a rmi call with ipv6

hi,
i'm making a rmi call to a server on a ipv6 enabled machine.
when i use the host name, it works fine.
but when i use the ip address, it throws me a timeout exception
the url value is
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://[fe80::216:72ff:fe3c:21gf]:19014

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]

        ... 6 more

but this works fine if i give
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://blriedlin03:19014

is there any properties i need to set to make it work.

thanks,
gaurav abbi

Hi gaurav abbi

you should only give the numbers not the hexadecimal values like

java.naming.provider.url=jnp://[fe80::216:72ff:fe3c:21gf]:19014

Example jnp://162.234.567.34:1098

i tried giving that, but it gives the same error.
ip address = fe80::213:72ff:fe3c:21bf
i tried these url values
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://151480.213.721515.1514312.211115:19014
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://151480.0.213.721515.1514312.211115:19014

java.naming.provider.url=jnp://80.0.216.72.3.21:19014
and this one
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://80.216.72.3.21:19014

can you give me some example or point to some link about how to use this.
i will be really helpful.

ipv6 protocol supports the above type of IP address representation.

Wiki entry

can you point me to some example where rmi call is being made using ipv6.
it would be really helpful.
