I am attempting to use Overclockix on a USB drive as a standalone test system for various servers. It is exactly what I've been looking for, but I have been unable to get a network loop-back over a crossover cable to work. I am trying to implement something like "send-to-self", but all attempts have failed. I would greatly appreciate any and all help setting this up. The servers I'm testing will have between 2 and 6 ethernet ports that I would like to connect in pairs 1->2, 3->4, 5->6.
Thanks,
Michael
Is the poster trying to test network throughput? localhost won't do that. I'm not sure if you can get the stack to actually use the LAN on a multihomed host. I tried some simple testing using the actual IP and the stack was smart enough to not put the traffic on the LAN. It resulted in fast file transfers!I am not sure what difference it makes whether you would be using localhost vs the actual network interface.
