    Description

      I am testing QHostInfo::fromName() method on Symbian Wk20 (Qt 4.6.3) baseline (background environment is Windows 7). I am trying to return the IP addresses of a host name which is having one IPv6 address and two IPv4 addresses. According to documentation, this method should return list of all IP addresses but it is returning only IPv6 address. This is consistent, never returning any IPv4 address. Even the returned IPv6 address is not valid. It is returning "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0".

      I tested this use case scenario on Qt-Windows (Qt 4.6.3), and found that it is returning all the three IP addresses properly. Even it is returning the correct IPv6 address.

      So, this seems to be a bug in Qt for Symbian.

      I will be thankful to you If you can provide quick fix for this.
