WSJT-X Not Connecting in version 6.0

[K1JX]

For some reason, the latest 6.0 is not connecting to WSJT-X through UDP. Everything else works fine, but there is no connection, so logging doesn't happen. Reverting back to 5.2 fixes the problem, with no change in Settings.

This is what the Network Status looks like with 5.2:

The responses within the red box don't take place with version 6.0.

I tried rebooting with 6.0, cleaning the various caches, and even restarting in Safe mode. No effect. Going back to 5.2 worked perfectly again.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?? Staying with 5.2 is hardly the end of the world for me, but I thought that I should either report a bug or publicly show my ignorance.

Do you have entered "localhost" in the UDP Server field in WSJT-X? Try 127.0.0.1

Yes, "localhost" was the UDP Server field. Changing to 127.0.0.1 fixed it.

Thanks!
