Hi!
I use 56K dialup. And in kppp/Details, I have a Local and Remote IP.
By telneting into both IPs, it seems that the Local IP is actually my
computer...
So why do I have 2 IPs? What does it achieve?
Windows doesn't do this, I think.
Thanks,
pesarif

Hey,
The first ip-address is 127.0.0.1 This is your loopback address, the
loopback address is used to make connections to your own linux box
without sending the IP-packet to your ethernet or dialup connection. The
loopback address is also present in the /etc/hosts -file the hosts-file
gives
Actually, Windows does do this, it just isn't as evident like Linux. If
you are running IIS you can actually type in http://localhost. And from
any command prompt you can ping 127.0.0.1 and localhost.

In some cases, you may actually have 3 or 4 IPs.
You'll always have the loopback address, which is labeled as lo. If
you do a ifconfig lo as root, you should see something like this.
[root@r2d2 /root]# ifconfig lo
loLink encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1
