You have to use the domain name of the server hosting SFS.
Before trying to connect with your client to SFS, make sure your computer can reach the server with a ping and a telnet connection.

Yup, ping works fine from the computer sharing the internet.

Domain name? You mean the Public DNS assigned to the EC2 instance? (I'm using AWS EC2)

I tried both Public DNS value and A Record DNS, both are not working

Yes, I suppose it's the public DNS. Can you ping it and telnet to it from the Test client? (see the Test 3 diagram)

Okay I see, I'll try tomorrow when I'm back in the office.

Will ping work? Since Ipad is on Ipv6-only network, shouldn't it use ping6?

I don't think so, because you are pinging a server with an IPv4 address.

Okay I made some progress today.. but with helps of other apps.

My test client is Ipad. I downloaded this app from AppStore:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-ne ... d576773404

It pings to my public DNS successfully and returns a translated Ipv6 address.

I tried my app running on Ipad with public DNS, it doesn't work.
I then tried running my app using the translated Ipv6 address wrapped by square brackets... it WORKS!!!

Now.. I'm wondering.. is there something wrong with Smartfox c# client dll? It's not retrieving the translated address properly?

Can you please send us the connection details by email? I'd like to test this scenario. Thank you.
And a few more questions: are you developing in Unity? What if you run the application in the Editor? Same behavior?

Sure, pm me your email? do you mean our server DNS? I need to open the ports up

Yea, we develop our client in Unity, I didn't try using desktop as client, either in editor or standalone build.
I have only tried Ipad.

You can write to info AT smartfoxserver DOT com.
We need IP and DNS name of your EC2 instance; if possible, please also activate the "BasicExamples" Zone, so we can also login with our test client. Thanks.

weberekt, what Unity version are you using?
I'm asking because we are experiencing the same issue in Unity 5.1.3, but everything works fine in Unity 5.3.5.

Hello,

I tested my client application with SFS 2X 2.11 in IPv6 network as described in Test 3 diagram. TCP connection works fine, but I have a problem with initialization of UDP protocol. Method initUDP (I use Unity C# API 1.6.6) always return false. In IPv4 network TCP and UDP work with no errors.

Step by step:
1) Client connect to SFS 2X server by TCP (use domain + port) -> Success
2) Client send LoginRequest by TCP -> Success
3) Client get SFSEvent.LOGIN event from server by TCP -> Success
4) Client init UDP (call SmartFox.InitUDP() method) -> Success
5) Client get SFSEvent.UDP_INIT event with parameter "success" == false -> Error

SFS is bound to an IPv4 address

Code: Select all

  <socketAddresses>
    <socket address="46.229.166.158" port="9934" type="TCP"/>
    <socket address="46.229.166.158" port="9934" type="UDP"/>
  </socketAddresses>

Where is the mistake?

Thanks for your help.

I don't think you are making any mistake. What specific version of Unity are you using? (for example 5.3.5f1)

We are using Unity 5.4.2f2 (client C# API 1.6.6). Also I use client in Java (Java API 1.7.0) for debug and testing our game API. Java client also works fine in TCP network, but doesn't init UDP protocol.
