I haven''t been able to get the loopback address to work with datagram sockets. Im using "127.0.0.1", i''ve also just specified the ip of the localhost and that hasn''t seemed to work, I never recieve the UDP packets I send.

Magically i try 127.0.0.1 one last time, and it works.. come to think of it i may have been using 127.0.0.0 in the past accidentally.
