I tried to run one Windows program in Wine, which is installed in Jail. The program started and froze.
I thought it was a Wine problem and installed the program on Windows Server 2016, which is hosted inside BHyve VM.
It all happened again.
And then I discovered that the connection indicator in the program showed the absence of a network.
Although other network programs, all browsers, and email clients work fine on the same virtual machine.
I opened network connections Windows and found that localhost 127.0.0.1 was missing.
Ifconfig output in Jail shows
I have an assumption that the program needs the address 127.0.0.1 to work.
How to add it to VMs?
It turns out that localhost in a virtual network is not supported at all, or should I configure it separately?
