    According to a reliable source... 

    ----
There are numerous application level VPN clients, including some from
Juniper, that perform port forwarding and rely on multiple virtual
loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.x, 127.0.0.y, etc) in order to
function. Some time after RC2, Windows began denying connections through
loopback addresses other than 127.0.0.1, due to a bug. Netcat can easily
reproduce and confirm these problems.
