This also means you can't disable it:

Not sure why time is a keyword (on a par with if, for etc.) rather than
a builtin, but there you go. If anyone has any enlightenmen

Everything has an "lo" interface on 127.0.0.1, that's correct; it's not
the "main" address and is inaccessible from outside the host itself.
It's called the loopback and is used for where you need to make

I've never seen ifconfig used without an interface specified before
(other than to print current settings), but a quick experiment indicates
the netmask needs to go after the ip address:
ifconfig eth0 70.7.4.102 netmask 255.255.255
