There are no special MindTerm settings which should cause this. A port
forward from 127.0.0.2 works exactly like one from 172.0.0.1. You might
want to try to enable debug logging to see what is happening and what
seems to take so much time.

PS But 127.0.0.x where x != 1 does not work on an unpatched Windows
XPsp2. There is a knowledge base article regarding this and the patch is
installed by windows update.
