Summary
Defines whether the destination host name is specified in DNS, dotted decimal notation or IPV6 format. Use only when connecting through a Firewall.
Description
The FwAddrType property specifies the address type of the destination host when connecting to the firewall server. This property must be set before calling the FwConnect method.
There are three possible ways of specifying a destination address and therefore the FwAddrType property can have three possible values:
| FW_ADDR_IP4 |
Address is a version 4 IP address (dotted decimal notation) |
| FW_ADDR_DNS |
Address is a DNS style domain name |
| FW_ADDR_IP6 |
Address is a version 6 IP address |
The FwAddrType property must be set to FW_ADDR_IP4 if the application is specifying a Internet address in the dotted decimal notation (198.210.112.50) in the Host
property. If the application wants to specify the machine name or machine name and domain name (for example speedy.distinct.com) as the destination host then it must set the
FwAddrType property to FW_ADDR_DNS.
This property can be changed at design time and at run time before a connection has been established.
The default value for this property is FW_ADDR_IP4.
Example
Imap.FwAddrType = FW_ADDR_IP4
Result = Imap.FwConnect ("129.210.120.12", FwServer, 1080)
If (Result = IMAP_SUCCESS) Then
MessageBox "Successful connection", "IMAP sample application", 64
End If
