127.0.0.1 is the loopback adapter, analagous to "localhost." It allows you to check to make sure that Remote Desktop is working correctly, at least on the local side of your network.

the purpose of 127.0.0.1 is to test the IP stack in your PC. If you ping this and get a reply the software is working up to the NIC card transciever chip. If you can not get to the IP on the network you want then you know the problem is outside of your PC.

127.0.0.1 is the loop back address..you can go to that address and look inside the computer but its YOURS..you can ping that address and it tells you if you have your TCP/IP set up correctly...all in all its a resevered address and generally used for testing ones own system

127.0.0.1 is useless for remote desktop accessing.
127.0.0.1 is a loopback for your own PC, so unless you are hosting a server in your PC and maybe you want to access the web ui configuration , you can do it with 127.0.0.1

Any address in the 127.xxx.xxx.xxx network will not leave your computer, anything in that network is classified as a localhost. If you are using that address as the remote host address then you will actually be trying to connect to you local computer.

That's a Loop back address, it checks the connectivity.
