note that net mask? the loopback interface is the entire 127.0.0.0/8 network you can't put a host at 127.0.1.x and expect it to work right.

you should instead use one of the RFC1918 reserved subnets for a private network, within 10.0.0.0/8 or 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16 (you can use these with any mask size you want, for instance, /24 is usually used with 192.168.x.y)
