Hey, Pete, from my limited experience 127.0.0.1 is the way to ping yourself. I've
never heard of pinging your won ip address any other way, but I'm sure there are more
experienced people who might have the definitive answer. If the "pingee" and the
"pinger" are the same address> ret=-1 (?) Intuitively, to me at least, pinging your
loopback (127.0.0.1) makes sense (down the stack, to the nic, back up the stack), but
sending a ping to the address you are pinging from? If I'm missing something, someone
please let me know how that works. Where would the ping go? Seems like it would go
nowhere.
