Description

On my Win7(64) setup I'm currently getting the message:
"The schedular has been paused due to an error:
Unable to detect the IP address belonging to 'newszilla6.xs4all.nl'(servername = newszilla6.xs4all.nl)" or
"The schedular has been paused due to an error:
Unable to detect the IP address belonging to 'reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl'(servername = reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl)"

If I try to ping the server I recieve a normal reply:
ping -6 reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl
Pinging reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl [2001:67c:174:101::1337] with 32 bytes of data:

If I replace the server name with the IPv6 address in the NNTPGrab server config than it works ok.
Downgrading to a known good release like nntpgrab_0_6_91_Setup64.exe did not solve the problem, so I suspect an issue on my side.

History

#1 Updated by RomMon over 4 years ago

  • File DNS_query_IPv6_address_NNTPGrab.txt added
  • File DNS_query_IPv6_address_Ping.txt added

I captured the DNS query with Wireshark and looks that from NNTPGrab only a A DNS query is performed, while a ping -6 an AAAA is done.

#2 Updated by RomMon over 4 years ago

  • File DNS_query_IPv6_address_NNTPGrab_AICCU_on_DV2020.txt added

Now I'm a bit lost. Now I run AICCU (and RADVD) on my DV-2020 router and the issue is solved.
Also captured the DNS query again, but didn't do a line by line compare yet.
From a quick look I suspect it is the initial DNS response that now tells that a AAAA query should be done i.s.o. a A query, After which a new AAAA DNS query is initiated from NNTPGrab.
