In fact that was the problem, connecting to localhost didn't work unless I add specifically localhost... If tried with the host ip or name worked perfectly, so your comment had sense and solved it all... Just one comment, 127.0.0.1 had the same effect as localhost, I should connect to the specific host ip or name.
