I can't remember my exact code.
Think it was just two winsock calls, initiating the winsock and calling it
to open the socket 127.0.0.1 at port whatever
What i'm still unclear about, is why can i connect to the dummy ip
127.0.0.12 through other apps, but not winsock.ew
Or, is there *any* way possible to do that using euphoria, or winsock.e
If there is, no matter how complicated, i'd *really* appreciate it.
Thank you :)
