loop-back issue

[sylvain folly]

Hi,

I have modified the viewer and he listen now on the port 9500 instead of
5500.
I use two machines, one runs the server and the other one runs the viewer in
listen mode.

I open a SSH connection on the first machine that runs the server and I do a
local forward of the port 5500 on the port 9500.
I run the viewer on the second machine in listen mode (it listens the port
9500).
Next step is to connect the server to the same machine on the redirected
port.

On the fisrt machine I add  a new client and I enter the IP address of the
machine which runs the server.
When I click OK, the viewer on the second machine displays an error message
"Local loop-back connections are disabled."

Can someone explain why ?
It's funny that the viewer display the error message...


Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Sylvain
