[ale] OT: Stupid Windows Trick

[Jeff Lightner]

Well I got the duplicate response but don't understand it.  
Localhost = 127.0.0.1 i.e. the host you're on.   If you ping localhost
that's the IP you see.   
Also if I do the net view without specifying a host the list that comes
up of all computer has no localhost entries.

Maybe the subject should have just been "Stupid Windows".

I just found this out today just trying to see what it would do.

net view \\localhost

It is an interesting response, but non the less true.   As there is 
usually more than one localhost on a network.
