Description
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
