Because the 127 network is a "special" network, it's a good idea to avoid
using it.  If the route table of the RH box was set up to use the 127
address, even with a much longer subnet mask, any device that tried to
respond would probably end up talking to it's loopback interface.  Thus,
the RH box couldn't talk to anyone else.

IP stuff can be tricky, particularly when you're new to the game.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tom Cooper

>From what I understand 127.0.0.0 is the loopback not 127.*.*.*

No!...127.0.0.1 is the loopback.
