I have a Windows Server at a data center which has a range of IPv6 addresses, for example 2000:5300:120:e5e:: (not real address) with 64 entered in the Subnet Prefix Length. I want to bind one of the available IP addresses on an Icecast stream server, such as 2000:5300:120:e5e::1 but it fails to bind. If I set the Icecast server to bind to 2000:5300:120:e5e:: then it works. Can someone please explain why I can't use just one of those millions of addresses to bind to?
