Description

@RIAEvangelist

If the client machine is not connected to a network, TCP sockets do not work.

An example is to install node-ipc npm install node-ipc

then run the basic TCP server and clients with network connection and without.

tested using iojs install on windows 7 x32
works with network connection
can not connect without network connection even on localhost

tested using nw.js with both iojs and nodejs install on windows 7 x32
nw.js like atom uses io.js on its back end.
works with network connection
can not connect without network connection even on localhost

and here on atom electron electron/electron/issues/2299
