I had the same problem.
Here’s a quick solution for those of you who still want to use log4net
Edit your Windows hosts file, and change the line:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
to:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You’ll need a simple text editor, but I guess you should run it as an administrator, otherwise your hosts file won’t be saved.
Worked for me.
Cheers!

Hi!

Though your already moved to NLog – maybe for someone else who read this post.

We found a simple solution for this issue:
instead of using the UdpAppender on RemteAddress ’127.0.0.2′:

for local machine:
use address such as ‘log4view-local’ and add on your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
127.0.0.1 log4view-local

don’t forget to flush dns with ipconfig /flushdns, and ping log4view-local to make sure.

for other environments such as QA/Production – just set in your DNS – for example: log4view.qa.yourdomain.com – the related log4view machine’s IP, and set in the UdpAppender RemoteAddress value ‘log4view.qa.yourdomain.com’.

worked great for us!

cheers,
Shlomi
