In computing the term localhost refers to the location of the currently used system. It is a loopback device which is assigned the IP address 127.0.0.1, which can be used by TCP/IP applications to talk to themselves if this is needed. (wikipedia)
hehe...i know what a localhost address is man....
but before the quiz choices were edited... ( ) the localhost was at "127.0.0.0" and not "127.0.0.1".....thats what i was referring to...... i knew it was a typo.....just given you crap
thanks a bunch for taken these quizzes over for me!!
right....call it csamuels 127.0.0.1 in a hosts file and then use a ping csamuels command and it'll return results (provided that your adapter is functional..... )
