Redirect port on Windows from loopback to outside

I have a socket that listen on port 6100 on my development machine, whose lan address is 192.168.1.2

I can access the socket and use it with the address 127.0.0.1:6100, but I can't access it from 192.168.1.2:6100 (I need to access the socket from another client on the Lan)

If I type netstat -an | find "6100" on the command prompt I get:

TCP 127.0.0.1:6100 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

So I need to redirect all calls to 192.168.1.2:A_RANDOM_PORT to 127.0.0.1:6100

How can i do that?

I tried with:

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=6200 listenaddress=192.168.1.2 connectport=6100 connectaddress=127.0.0.1

But without luck

I've finally been able to accomplish this task, but only using an external tool.

I downloaded "PassPort port forwarding utility" and set up a redirection from 192.168.1.2 to 127.0.0.1

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that without an external tool.

You failed to post the code concerned, but you bound your listening socket to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0. Just fix that. No oort forwarding required.
