| Dec 30, 2017 at 21:19 | comment | added | Criggie | For interest, in the early 2000 I tried redefining localhost on a virtual network. Linux was quite happy to have 127.0.0.1/24 assigned to lo, as was BSD. But try the same on a windows box and it sulked as soon as I typed in "127" into the network config box. Was either win98 or winXP. | |

| Aug 29, 2009 at 6:54 | comment | added | Roee Adler | Yes, IPv6's localhost does not raise too many questions :) | |
| Aug 29, 2009 at 6:11 | comment | added | hyperslug | I'm curious about this too. The IPv6 loopback is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, which makes sense to me. | |
