   127.0.0.1 is your network card, and localhost is default for a linux   
   installed machine. I suspect you are looping back onto verdi by calling   
   127.0.0.1. Verdi looks to be set up right, except that it is accepting   
   SSH on loopback without login.

   The last ISP(Comcast) supplied modem I got did not allow ssh-- it did   
   not know how to forward it or blocked it, and did all sorts of things   
   modems are NOT supposed to do. They gave you a different modem if you   
   wanted to pay for a fixed IP, that was a modem/router (single port   
   router). I got a Cisco router and my own Motorola modem(which is a   
   Comcast-approved model, and is a router/modem combo which will allow a   
   router to be hooked to it), and the Cisco ROUTER insisted on a fixed IP,   
   but it was a model they approved highly of on their website. So, I got a   
   fixed IP. I do not have a server here.

   I would look at your network setup in detail on Verdi and echo it   
   (except for computer name and IP address) on your other computer.
