Can't connect to SimpleXMLRPCServer. Help needed.

[Jose Carlos Balderas Alberico]

Okay, I changed this:
  server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000), ....)
for this:
  server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(('', 8000), ....)

Replacing "localhost" with two simple quotes ' makes it work.
Anyone knows the reason for this?

Thank so much.
