From: Lucio Menci on 25 Jun 2010 03:50 Two questions: How can I set helps are on http://localhost:47873 instead http://127.0.0.1:47873? My proxy denied the access to that IP address... Now let me argue... How can I do searches in specific argument libraries? The Help on Line for microsoft seems a synonimous of regression. The Help32 was the best help engine done by Microsoft. Then the chm had cross references that after some searches often wasn't run. With VisualStudio 2005 they introduced a Guide Document Browser where searches were possible, but so hard (whenever you are searching for the description wrote on a interface almost never you will have into the top 50 the help for that interface) Now I trow VisualStudio 2010. You can't do a search choosing if you are searching something about the framework, the language, the right version, forums and so on. WHY?

You don't make any sense. 127.0.0.1 the Loopback IP is local to your machine and (localhost) equates to 127.0.0.1.

Internet Explorer ask to a DNS to resolve 127.0.0.1, but not for localhost or loopback. I have an old analogic line, my phone don't support ADSL). With address located as 127.0.0.1 IE ask for a connection (and I have to engage my telephone) to ask to a dns who is 127.0.0.1. If I write manually localhost, IE shows me the right page without asking connection.

Oh yes it is: it's *defined* that way. > Internet Explorer ask to a DNS to resolve 127.0.0.1, > but not for localhost or loopback. I have an old analogic line, my > phone don't support ADSL).

Then your computer's networking configuration appears to be broken (possibly by malware) and you should ask in a newsgroup or forum specific to your operating system. -- Andrew

Why the behaviour is not the same if they are *defined* that way (whatever malware or some else)? > > Internet Explorer ask to a DNS to resolve 127.0.0.1, > > but not for localhost or loopback.

I throw VB in 3 PCs: one with Vista (my PC at work with a connection with a ISA server), another PC with XP (in the same net) and a PC in my house (Windows 7, with an old connection via an analogic modem). In the first two cases ISA server denied the access to helpbooks giving the error code 10061 (Connection refused), in the last case the PC whan to engage the phone line. All of that both using IE or Chrome. All of that only using 127.0.0.1. None of that if I use Loopback or Localhost. Are you still sure that's a malware? The simplest way is to say to the library agent to go to Localhost instead 127.0.0.1. Can I do that? |
