This normally happens when you use the localhost entry for the hostname. To fix it just add the dummy device, assign an IP number to it (e.g. one of the 192.168.x.x numbers) and add an entry with your hostname to /etc/hosts. Example: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.20.1 myhostname.foo.bar myhostname Talk should work just fine then.
