On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP with
Service Pack 2 (SP2), programs that connect to IP addresses that are in the
loopback address range may not work as you expect. For example, you may receive
an error message that says that you cannot establish a
connection.
This problem occurs if the program connects to a loopback
address other than 127.0.0.1. Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) prevents
connections to all IP addresses that are in the loopback address range except
for 127.0.0.1.
