Webware / localhost vs. real IP address

[Patrick Useldinger]

Hi all,

I'm not sure whether this is Webware or Python-related, but I have to
start somewhere.

I have a small Webware server running on port 8086, with Webware's http
server listening to port 8080 (all standard). The IP address of my
machine is 192.168.1.2, and it's running WinXP. 

If I point my Opera to 127.0.0.1:8080, all works well. If I do the same
with 192.168.1.2:8080, which should be the same, it says 'could not
connect to remote server'.

A short Python http client will work with the first address, and says
the follwing when pointed to the second:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.connect()
  File "C:\Programs\Python23\Lib\httplib.py", line 548, in connect
    raise socket.error, msg
error: (10061, 'Connection refused')

The local firewall has been disabled.

The routes seem to be OK as well:

Any clues?
