I have created a loopback Interface card in Windows 7 x64
say the IP of my local machine is
20.200.20.30 /
255.255.255.128
and the IP of Loopback adapter is
20.200.20.65 / 255.255.255.128
I open up a listening socket on 20.200.20.30 on port 7800
On another thread/applciation i bind a socket on 20.200.20.65 and then connect 20.200.20.30
but it fails with connection time out.
It worked well on windows XP though.
Please advise
Done.
All i had to do was to enable weakhost for both the NICs
netsh interface ipv4 set interface “MainNIC” weakhostsend=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface “MainNIC” weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface “LoopbackNIC” weakhostsend=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface “LoopbackNIC” weakhostreceive=enabled
