note that net mask? the loopback interface is the entire 127.0.0.0/8 network you can't put a host at 127.0.1.x and expect it to work right.

You can, and it works, it just connects to yourself. Even without names, I have used connections from 127.100.100.100:10000 to 127.111.111.111:111111 and 127.222.222.222:22222 to 127.233.233.233:23333 when testing some network code, they all bind to loopback and a single packet trace is easier to follow than just changing the ports.
