Hello Daniel,

telnet: connect to address 2001:838:2:1:2a0:24ff:feab:3b53: Connection refused

from this line you can tell, that bitibee does not listen on an IPv6 socket. That is why it is not working over IPv6. However this has nothing todo with sixxs, so please close the ticket and don't reopen it. In order so solve your problem you first have to check if bitibee does support IPv6, if it does, if you have configured it todo so and double check using lsof. Otherwise you have to contact the development team. The following output shows you to list all applications that listen for IPv6: (thinkpad) [~] lsof -P -i -n | grep LISTEN | grep IPv6 cupsd 2615 root 3u IPv6 6371 TCP [::1]:631 (LISTEN) sshd 3232 root 3u IPv6 7662 TCP *:22 (LISTEN) ssh 3498 sithglan 6u IPv6 8208 TCP [::1]:8080 (LISTEN) on my thinkpad that is currently cupsd, sshd and a ssh client. Good luck to get bitlbee, whatever that is, IPv6 enabled, Thomas
