Re: [rdesktop-devel] RE: [rdesktop-users] rdesktop-1.3.1 reports 127.0.0.1 as =?windows-1252?q?IP-addre=09ss=3F?=

[Peter <pet...@ub...>]

I believe this issue is fixed in the cvs since the introduction of tcp.c:tc=
p_get_address(), I may be wrong, but you should try the cvs anyhow.

if getsockname() fails in that function in returns the string 127.0.0.1.

this function was introduced after 1.3.1.

peter
