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

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.
