Bug Description

After updating to Windows 10 and connecting to my hub, I can no longer download from another user. Tested on three Windows 10 computers and three Windows 7 computers and one Windows 8. Compatibility mode on Windows 10 does not fix this. You can download to a Windows 7 computer from a Windows 10 computer, but you can't download to a Windows 10 computer from a Windows 10 computer. Haven't tested if downloading to a Windows 10 computer from a Windows 7 computer, but I suspect that is broken too.

This possibly has something to do with the default connection/mode settings, but I don't know enough about ADCS to know what's causing it. The defaults work on Windows 7.

It's probably about MiniUPnP, at least it doesn't work for me in a Win10 VM environment. See attached screenshot.

So I've got a very, very rough fix for it now, the patch is pretty substantial but this will add IPv6 support along with killing Windows XP Support but can confirm it fixes the automatic connectivity issue <https://i.imgur.com/r1WJoFy.png>

The test build from the above link does not solve the issue in my test system. It produces the same connectivity detection log, except the one extra entry about not beeing able to find ipv6 connectivity.

I got the same result with AirDC 3.0 in the same test environment. Same error, though they seem to use an even older version of miniupnpc than DC++ currently does.

Finally beeing able to test with the latest MiniUPnPc (thanks to cologic). It still doesn't work on Win10 for me while there's multiple reports by now that with clients equipped with even older lib versions it does work for others.

It'd be nice to see a connectivity detection log from the original reporter. Until then this bug's criticality can be lowered I think.

Sorry, I've been distracted by a new job. Is this bug being addressed? I'd love to help, but my c++ skills aren't that great. Any way I can help?

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem myself. I'm looking for a solution around too... If I discover anything else, I'll bring it here.

By now we have several reports of a problem free run of DC++ under Win10 and since the inability of download can be because of several other reasons, regardless of the operating system used (so it's a support issue then, not a bug) anyone who wants this bug to be reopened should provide the following information:
- DC++ version currently used
- Acknowledge that you understood and tried all the steps recommended in this FAQ: https://answers.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+faq/83
- A copy of the Detection Log from the Connectivity settings pane (click on Detect Now to get one)
- The version of the last DC++ that's worked problem free

Optionally answers to the following could help even more, so
- Is there any known older DC++ version that works on your Win10 (try to downgrade)
- If there's any other computer in your same local network, still running an older Windows version and if so then how does the latest or any older version of DC++ work on it (include the Detection log from those, too)

In any other cases please open a support ticket and we try to handle your problem separately.
