ailkema, do a search on loopback and localhost. That is basically your machine talking to it's self. Very common in Unix. You machine sends a request to your tcp/ip stack and it says stay inside your cpu. Or loopback upon its self. Your argument doesn't hold water. If you don't believe me then unplug your computers ethernet cable or turn off you wifi app. P8 still works. These types of apps that use loopback and or your localhost are going to become more and more popular as time goes forward. There are lots of browser based apps currently. Look at what Google is working on. I will bet the google programmers will probably have to place certain pieces on your computer in adition to connection to a remote host to make the apps work. Your issue is the same as many others, P8 is the first loopback localhost app you have run. If not P8, then sooner or later these same issues are going to pop up with some other app. Do your self a favor and stay behind the tech curve and use whatever you used prior to installing P8 and leave the rest of us that want to follow the tech curve alone.
