Patrick, what Jon is cryptically trying to say is that the address
127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of your local machine.  Every machine
connected to ethernet has that address as it does not route over the
network.  For us to be able to use IRC we would need to know your internet
address assigned you by your ISP.  An easier choice is to simply join the
#aclug channel on irc.debian.org.  This a permanent channel set aside for
ACLUG use.
