With all due respect I wouldn't reference that FAQ. Yes 127.0.0.1 is the local
machine address but then I attached port 7300 to the address. 127.0.0.1:7300 is
a server on my machine. It is the VE7CC terminal software. My logbook software
connects to 127.0.0.1:7300 in order to determine if a cluster spot has been
worked or confirmed. 127.0.0.1:7300 is a valid ip address and not a hoax as
your FAQ suggests.
My reason for trying to make the connection is because it's there and I wanted
to try it. I do not normally use clusters during contests. This weekend is
totally lost for me for this contest so I thought I would try some things.
I feel I need to say again 127.0.0.1:7300 is a valid address in my computer.
Thanks.....73

127.0.0.1 is the loopback connection IP address. It is a dead end. (It goes
no where).
See http://www.tech-faq.com/127.0.0.1.shtml

Can anyone tell me how to connect to this address from inside CT. During
non-contests my logging program is connected 24 hours a day
and it works perfectly. I can connect to any/all telnet clusters from inside
CT but I can't seem to connect to my internal server.
127.0.0.1:7300
