I am running the ecos 1.3.1 with the stable tcp/ip stack (not the current cvs code)...

First off, i suggest you use the anon cvs version. There have been
lots of bug fixes to the stack which are only in CVS. 

The function init_all_network_interfaces() will assigned the IP
address 127.0.0.1 to the loopback device. You don't need to do
anything so long as you call this function.
