Did you try setting EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO,
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=localhost, or the IP address of your vxWorks computer?

Hi All,
I
posted several weeks ago about an issue that a client failed to connect local
server on vxWorks 6.3.
We
developed a PCAS server and a client based on libcas and libca (EPICS Base
3.14.9). They work well on Windows, and we are now porting them to vxWorks
(ppc-603). During the process, we found the issue that, if the client and
server are on a single host, the connection couldn't be established.
After
debugging for a long while, we found the root issue is that a broadcast to
255.255.255.255 from a vxWorks host CANNOT be heard by local host. It seems
like a loopback policy limitation for vxWorks.
So
I'd like to know if there's anyone who ran into the same issue as I am. Or
someone who can successfully connect a client to a local server on vxWorks, and
how do you do that.
Thank
you very much for your time.
