IP 127.0.0.1 is the dummy address called "loopback" and should work as any
other.
We use to use it as a starting point for testing on local.
The client-server themometer does use it.
If your network setup does include only phone access (and not ethernet, for
instance) you should establish first a connection to the Internet (a call to
your IS provider), before being able of trying calls to winsock, even if you
do not intend to access other hosts than local. Winsock does not know your
intentions, so asks for a network level connection before allowing you to
issue a network request (even against the loopback dummy address).
Notice the "127.0.0.1" is an invalid (although useable for that purpose) IP
address.
If not clear, please post your code andwe will take a look.
