  1. Resolution Note (2019.2.X):

    This is an unfortunate limitation in UWP apps that Microsoft imposes on us. We cannot fix it. See this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh780593?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    "Further, a Windows Runtime app can use an IP loopback only as the target address for a client network request. So a Windows Runtime app that uses a DatagramSocket or StreamSocketListener to listen on an IP loopback address is prevented from receiving any incoming packets."

    I verified when running the app on 2 different devices (PC and HoloLens) both devices were able to see each other's network requests.

    Note: if this doesn't work it's likely a networking or firewall configuration problem and not an issue with Unity or the networking API.
