Nup. for (addr = addrs; addr; addr = addr->ai_next) { #ifdef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS /* Ignore AF_UNIX sockets, if any are returned. */ if (addr->ai_family == AF_UNIX) continue; #endif if ((pgStatSock = socket(addr->ai_family, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) >= 0) break; } I thing I haven't seen asked: is there a packet filter blocking local<->local UDP traffic by any chance?
