Please remember that dom0 and domU are different systems that just
happen to share the same hardware. So, both dom0 and domUs have their
own loopback interface, from domU 127.0.0.1 is its own loopback, and not
that of dom0. So, you should enter a IP address that the domU can use to
talk to dom0 (like a valid IP address on the network that both domains
are on).
