If you're explicity running something on 127.0.0.1 and can access it from another machine then something is wrong somewhere.... :-) Normally if you want to bind to all addresses you use 0.0.0.0, most applications do this by default. So yes, generally it's well understand that anything running on 127.0.0.1 is not able to be accessed from another machine. Regards, -David
