network needs to be used ... but I think I know what the problem is ...
Orbit is probably talking to the ip of the machine instead of using
localhost/127.0.0.1 ... I can't remember any reasoning why one should not
use localhost ... but I think connecting to the network ip is pretty bad
(what if I disconnect and connect again)

maybe I'm wrong and orbit does talk to localhost ... I dunno ...
