\S{faq-alternate-localhost}{Question} Since I upgraded Windows XP
to Service Pack 2, I can't use addresses like \cw{127.0.0.2}.
Some people who ask PuTTY to listen on localhost addresses other
than \cw{127.0.0.1} to forward services such as SMB and Windows
Terminal Services have found that doing so no longer works since
they upgraded to WinXP SP2.
This is an issue with SP2 that is acknowledged by Microsoft in
MS Knowledge Base article
\W{http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;884020}{884020}.
For a fix, you'll need to contact Microsoft support. We've been told
that the process is reasonably easy, and is free of charge; and that
the fix will be included in the next Windows XP Service Pack (but
probably not before).
