Ping your neighbor it goes to the target address (your neighbor). Ping yourself (which is not the same as a 127.X.X.X loopback) & you send a beacon to your neighbor... who tells you that you exist from his table. Pinging yourself always takes longer. If you are running Frame-Relay, it's not possible unless the Telco maps you for this service... Good Luck !!!
