Check.jpg CHANGE: Network Security Change Required by New Windows Security Updates

We made an important change to the networking portion of the code for Windows compliance.

NLM used to open an IP socket using 0.0.0.0, then assign a working IP address based on the configuration.

Recently, some Windows systems started throwing a critical error when our software attempted to open the IP connection like this. So now NLM opens sockets with at least a local address of 127.0.0.1 - which is allowed by Windows.
