If we try to connect to a machine via a proxy to it's loopback address we fail.
This is because the DCOM Connection client does not find any "valid string-bindings" that match the specified IP address (
127.0.0.1
).This behavior may be logically fine but it harms end-user use.
This commit fixes the issue by checking for use of loopback addresses and handling them correctly.
