On a 64bit windows XP(IIS installed), open 'http://localhost/iisstart.htm',
and check the iis log, I found the request is from '127.0.0.1'. And when
surfing to 'http://<hostname>/iisstart.htm', in the log, it's also
'127.0.0.1', not from my IP.

While on a 32bit OS, when 'http://localhost/iisstart.htm', it's '127.0.0.1';
while 'http://<hostname>/iisstart.htm', it's my IP, not '127.0.0.1'.

Why???
