So this software appears to try and forward traffic directed at 127.0.0.11:3389 to another, remote, server.

I think that this is relying on the fact that windows is treating 127.0.0.11 as a seperate ip address, even though it is actually still a loopback address.

It looks like this "feature" may have been removed (broken) in XP and any 127.x.x.x address is being converted to 127.0.0.1 - and therefore XP cannot bind to the 127.0.0.11 address.

I cannot ever imagine why Nokia would do it this way - but if I'm right then it will never work on XP.
