    Here, I just the mentioned the routine which I am using. And of course, I have mentioned the browser type in my script :)

     

    var natIP = "x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x";

    natIP = "[" + natIP + "]"; // IPv6 address needs to be enclosed within []

    var loginURLStr = "https://" + natIP + ":5480";
    Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run(loginURLStr);

    The above snippet works fine for an IPv4 address, but throws error message for an IPv6 address.

      Hi,

       

      This is just a guess, Can you try chr function instead of using [].

       

      Ex:

      natIP = chr(91) + natIP + chr(93); // IPv6 address needs to be enclosed within []

       

      i'm not having web module to check this

        Tried as suggested, but still seeing the same error. Basically when it encounters a colon (:) in IPv6 address format, it throws the error. Tried to replace : with chr(58), but no luck.
