Anyone know why I cant seem to use `sendTo` for an off-machine address? Using
@jrfonden 's example above, if I set the `sendTo` address to `192.168.1.44`
which is the machine I'm on, it works just fine. (Especially if I'm also
running the UDP server on my local machine.)
But, if I set the address to `192.168.1.45`, which is the machine sitting next
to me on the same network, I get a run-time crash as soon as a send a packet:
$ ./client2
Listening to stdin and 127.0.0.1:8800; transmitting to 192.168.1.45:9900

The `net.nim` module at line 1699 (nim version 1.4.0) appears to imply it could
not "lookup" the address. Yet, when I simulate the `getAddrInfo(address, port,
af, socket.sockType, socket.protocol)` on line 1682 I absolutely get one IPv4
address back.
In fact _any_ IP address that isn't part of the local network stack does not
work. Tried it on two machines if different OS: Linux Mint 20 and PopOS; same
effect.
Is there something unique to c-like `getAddrInfo` call that Nim uses?
I'm kind of stumped.
