Aye you have to use the IP of your computer not the router or the address given to you for the routers sake.

That's not true, you don't "have" to use 127.0.0.1 you can use the router assigned IP address very successfully and without any faults arrising from it's use (all depends on the quality of the router though)

mirlin i think ur main problem is that u do not understand what we mean by net ip and what by the local ip:
every time we are talking about net ip we are talking about the numbers that u can find in:
www.whatismyip.org
don't forget that every time u restart internet the numbers will change, and therefore u will have to look again for them.
when we are talking about local ip, use 127.0.0.1

Hmm only if you have a dynamic IP though ...
