Hi, can you check if printing can work properly for you? I can get printing works on x64 versionDownloaded, verified and checked. All is working perfectly! Thank you soo much
Use 0.0.0.0.
To elaborate on this: Packets being sent to address 127.0.0.1 usually end up pinging/echoing whatever server you have running on your computer and it may turn out that you have a server running on your system, without your knowledge. It literally listens on port 80. Afair, something to do with Apache and Windows Remote Management.
However, trying to send packets to 0.0.0.0 will immediately return with error code 1214 (ERROR: Invalid NetName).
More info:

Edit: I installed and used the hosts as 0.0.0.0 and all pings are dropped. I tried 127.0.0.1 and few pings did go through, but I had a loopback already in place.
Moreover, those pings eat up battery, cores and bandwidth and god knows what else.
