@SchmidtGenetics @HiddenLayer555 No. 127.0.0.x will always be localhost / local machine in any network. What you're referring to 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x are normalized local network addressing, 192.168 widely used by ISP on their router for home client and 10 being used by companies IT.
It's actually a /8. 127.x.x.x
Ah on my end, both are the same companies IP provider and they are different modem manufacturers. Both were used to log into the modem to change settings.
@SchmidtGenetics There's a lot of way of doing in things in network and all of them are "good" given a specific context or need. As long it work the way you want, that the point .
That’s good to know, I just didn’t know the context of the 127, and it’s not the same, so that good to know.
Cheers mate.
