i would like to avoid that packets sent from my machine to the same machine (via the IP assigned by the external router eg. 192.168.1.20) are routed with loopback and so never reach the external router.
In a few words, i want that a ping made from my PC to 192.168.1.120 go to the router and then come back to my PC.
I'm on Windows 8.1 but a solution for Windows 7 is appreciated.
thanks
I've tried to add a route (via route add
) setting as gateway the IP of my external router but the result is that the Ping doesn't work anymore.
