Check your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file if you are resolving this address to 127.0.0.1.
Everything uses the loopback adapter to communicate between the client and service.
Traffic over the loopback adapter is strictly local only.
You can confirm this by running a command prompt and typing:
You should see something like:
Code: Select all
TCP 127.0.0.1:15485 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
[Everything.exe]
TCP 127.0.0.1:15485 127.0.0.1:49185 ESTABLISHED
[Everything.exe]
TCP 127.0.0.1:49185 127.0.0.1:15485 ESTABLISHED
[Everything.exe]
127.0.0.1 is the loopback adapter.
If you do not want Everything to use any local network traffic, the service can be disabled from Tools -> Options -> General.
However, you will need to run Everything as administrator if you wish to index NTFS volumes.
