Screenshot of loopback behavior

It seems that Command and Conquer generals listens only on the loopback address
for network connections. As a result, network play is impossible. Strangely,
sometimes you can actually see other games on the network, but you cannot join
them. Even direct connections fail. When examining your own network settings,
it seems bound to a loopback address (see screenshot).
