Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Sending packets to self via nw rather than localhost => DCERPC

Hi All,
Im doing some network tests. I have (think I have) set up my routes so that any
udp packets that I send to the localhost are sent to the network rather than
the loopback address. 

When Im checking for these packets - they appear as DCERPC DCE/RPC fragments! 
Is this reasonable? 

Do you think that I have set up the routing tables properly! 
If not - does anyone know how I can configure the routes so that the loopback is
disabled?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated - cos its been wrecking my head for a
few days now! 
Thanks - kind regards,
