I don't know. It doesn't look like it's real.

Should I have set something up for loopback? It defaults to a broadcast
address of 0.0.0.0.


lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:48588 errors:676 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:48588

eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:00:12:35:99
inet addr:204.178.40.224 Bcast:204.178.47.255 Mask:255.255.248.0
