Hi All

wondered if anyone else has seen this problem

all SMVI notifications have links in, which they reference what looks like an IPv6 address in which doesn't work when clicked on, as we are using IP v4

it has the following format

ht..://[fe80:0:0:0:84d8:47ef:8b30:f087%11]:8043/smvi/logViewer?id=backup_Daily8.15RDM'sattached_20100706201500

the fe80:0:..... is the part I refer to, if I replace this with the netbios name the links work

this is the same for the .sfr file for single file recovery, if you edit the .sfr file it too references the fe80:00 number

when I look at the IP stack for the card of the VC server IPv6 was selected, I have deselected IPv6 and rebooted the VC server. but makes no difference.

any help much appreciated

thanks
