ping (in cmd.exe): D:\appinstall>ping 0.0.0.0
Pinging 0.0.0.0 with 32 bytes of data:
Destination specified is invalid. Destination specified is invalid. Destination specified is invalid. Destination specified is invalid.
Ping statistics for 0.0.0.0: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Wine: Putty -> 0.0.0.0 route to localhost, login succeeds (Not sure if it's routing to localhost or 127.0.0.1)
FWIW, Ubuntu: ssh -> 0.0.0.0: routes to localhost, where I've got sshd running, connects fine. ping -> 0.0.0.0 routes to 127.0.0.1, succeeds
This doesn't look right to me, but it also happens on my Debian box. Looks like that's how Linux works.
Seems to me to be a bug, i.e., Wine shouldn't be able to use 0.0.0.0. It seems that we're simply passing this on to the host os, which is then routing it back to localhost. Perhaps we need to catch 0.0.0.0 as a special case and refuse?
I'm not sure Wine should be a special case if it's not breaking apps.
