Binding a socket win XP

[aprier]

Hi @ ALL,

Here's my big problem :
I have an a application that is runing in a network using udp and tcp. When there is no network avaible, i have an interface simulator to run this application.
Under Windows NT i never had a problem when the network was unplugged the application run with the simulator.
Now under Windows XP, the simulator doesn't run when the network is unplugged, that's bad to run on a laptop, the Bind function generates an error when trying to bind the socket.
The loopback is well installed.
What's to do with XP to get this work ?
Thanks in advance for every Help !!!

Best regards

A. Prier

Are you trying to Bind on 127.0.0.1 when the Network is not available ?

@ VipulPathak,

no, i don't bind it on 127.0.0.1 when the network is not avaible.
The application and the simulator both use the same IP.
It worked perfect under win NT....
