Description

my network configuration
Screenshot_20260105-190527_Termux.png

Works:

  1. ipv4
  2. hostname alone

Fails:

  1. hostname.domainname: fails with a toast (oosp something went wrong)

  2. ipv6 (no bracket): cannot submit, "add" button does nothing

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SMB connection attempts described: hostname.domainname, an unbracketed IPv6 address, and a bracketed IPv6 address. Trace the Android/Kotlin path used when submitting the host and compare it with the working IPv4 and hostname cases; done means valid IPv6 SMB entries can be submitted and connect without an error toast.
