[LDTP-Dev] RPC error when trying to connect to cobra-winldtp

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hi Thomas,

You can set the following environment variables on Windows box:

set LDTP_DEBUG=1 # If you need debug output printed on console
set LDTP_LISTEN_ALL_INTERFACE=1 # If you need to listen other than
localhost, default is listen only on localhost

On Linux side:

export LDTP_DEBUG=1

I tried your scenario after setting above environment variables. More over,
have enabled inbound firewall rule on my windows box to accept request on
port 4118. Everything worked as expected.

Side note: I tried LDTP git head on Ubuntu 13.10.

Thanks
Nagappan
