The IP address range 127.0. 0.0 – 127.255. 255.255 is reserved for loopback, i.e. a Host's self-address, also known as localhost address. This loopback IP address is managed entirely by and within the operating system.

Are the addresses for localhost 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 ? That was a rhetorical question. What isn't rhetorical is why, when I enter either of those addresses into a browser , do I get a 'problem with address' page? Are there
