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 !!!
Phil
