-**Note**: The Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server assumes external programs are 16-bit DOS programs by default. In order to indicate that a program is a native (e.g. 32-bit) program, you must either set the corresponding [[util:SCFG]] ''Native Executable'' option to ''Yes'' (for each instance the program is used in a command-line in [[util:SCFG]]) or add the program name (as used in the command-line) to the [[util:SCFG]]->External Programs->Native Program List:+**Note**: The Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server assumes external programs are 16-bit DOS programs by default.

 +Why do I get the error message ''!ERROR 11001 calling getaddrinfo() on ::'' when running Synchronet v3.17 on Windows XP?
 +
 +:!: ** Answer:**\\
 +Synchronet v3.17 defaults to assuming that your operating system supports IPv6. Windows XP does not support IPv6 by default (only IPv4). You can either install IPv6 services on Windows XP (e.g. using the command-line: ''[[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2478747|netsh int ipv6 install]]'') or set the ''Interface'' key values in your ''[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file to exclude the IPv6 //all-intefaces// address: ''::''.
