Description
File: content/manuals/desktop/features/networking/networking-how-tos.md
Issue
The documentation incorrectly states that both Mac and Windows use the same process name:
All inbound connections pass through the Docker Desktop backend process (
com.docker.backend(Mac),com.docker.backend(Windows), orqemu(Linux)
This is incorrect. According to the backend components table in _index.md, Windows uses com.docker.backend.exe (with the .exe extension), while Mac uses com.docker.backend (without the extension).
The correct process names are:
- Windows:
com.docker.backend.exe - Mac:
com.docker.backend - Linux:
qemu
This inconsistency could confuse users trying to configure firewalls or troubleshoot networking issues, as they need the correct process name for their platform.
Suggested fix
Change the text to:
All inbound connections pass through the Docker Desktop backend process (`com.docker.backend.exe` (Windows), `com.docker.backend` (Mac), or `qemu` (Linux))This matches the naming convention used elsewhere in the networking documentation.
