[DXLog.net - Support] Number Server usage in SO2R (single computer)

[9A5K]

Hi Ken.

If you're using server and client connected on same pc to same ip, then
you've created loopback in network.
This means that DXLog will send same message between server and client all
the time.
Server/client setup is intented to use as gateway between two networks.
In this case, I would propose to use broadcast networking instead of
client/server and it will work OK.
