Do you understand what "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" means? |
|
Have you ever heard the saying "There's no place like home"? That is what it is referring to. Here is a website that explains what it means: |
|
127.0.0.1 means localhost which is a webserver that only runs on your computer. |
|
You can ping 192.127.0.0.1 to test to see if your network adapter is working properly, Loopback ping . |
|
It basically means a pingback, more or less to see of there are any errors in your network adaptor. It more or less means 'home'. |
|
I loved this while learning about networks during my Cisco based classes. |
|
This was the first thing I learned from my Cisco CCNA teacher, he had quite a collection of geek comic strips on the wall. 120.0.0.0 in reality is the virtual address a computer has assigned to itself so it can check the network device is working, so 120.0.0.0 let's you go home. I love forced learning <3 |
