After updating from github no change:
- no peer automatically found
- adding manually f944 successful
admin.addPeer("enode://f944c6702a78a0cbcd6505b76daff069dad2e45ff88896c475da2bef47091c88e5b4042211233e397ad958be998003a2674151e60719c5fdeeff5f8cc2c231a1@74.196.59.103:42786")
- adding peers given in OP failed
admin.addPeer("enode://4055ec69e53df4bfecb95e3b65c28e4f2a1145a3bdc4d85d077b552248cf159951afd649f044783bebf48b902fbc0e96978c76236fd4ab3d5ef7d95d72b84ee5@[::]:42786")
==> it seemed that only peers could be added manually, which contained an IPv4 address
==> peers given by the unspecified IPv6 addresss [::] were not found
So I tested to disable the IPv6 Stack:
bingo:

It seems, if IPv6 stack is enabled, the node tries to find peers using IPv6 only.
This will fail, because no peer is listening on an open IPv6 port.
Strange:
After reenabling the IPv6 Stack all is working well.
Seems that the node is caching known peers (like bitcon (peers.dat)
I cannot check this now, but perhaps this will help:
admin.addPeer("enode://4055ec69e53df4bfecb95e3b65c28e4f2a1145a3bdc4d85d077b552248cf159951afd649f044783bebf48b902fbc0e96978c76236fd4ab3d5ef7d95d72b84ee5@0.0.0.0:42786")
@defaced
any comments?
That seems like an accurate description of what is happening
