Description
When using TCP as "physical" serial port on a windows host (DrvTCP) it does not connect to the serial port server.
The problem is in Devices/Serial/DrvTCP.cpp where it is not assured that WSAStartup was called
If for example VRDP server is enabled this bug does not occur
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This was fixed some time ago, WSAStartup is now called when the TCP driver for the serial port is constructed.
