Q: Finder smb client ipv6

Hi MaximM,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm a bit unclear on your exact network configuration or any requirements your server admins may have set up, but the basic process should be similar to connecting to a server the traditional IPv4 way. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

OS X Yosemite: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network

OS X Yosemite: Connect to a Windows computer from a Mac

OS X Yosemite: Use IPv6

Cheers

Hi MaximM,

Sure, no problem. To the best of my knowledge, if you have the IPv6 address of the server (in the format xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx), you would enter it in that string where it says "IPaddress".

Cheers

Are those the full IPv6 addresses you have gotten from your server admin (they appear to be short)? Is there a specific reason you are connecting via IPv6 instead of via IPv4?
