can't net send to 127.0.0.1

[3rdshiftcoder]

hi-

i did send an email to standard support.

while i am waiting though i have been doing some testing.
i noticed i can do a net send computername hello

but i can not do a
net send 127.0.0.1 hello
i get a message that says message alias not found on network

i read something about 127.0.0.1 being a loopback address
and that you can even install a loopback adapter.

does any of that help diagnose the problem or am i just lost as usual when it comes to networking anyways.
thanks-- jim
