Accessing localhost on kobo?

Hi, I have a kobo touch, and I'm running a flask app. I can access this from another pc, and I can access a server running on my pc from the kobo, but I can't get the kobo to connect to localhost (either with localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0 or it's own ip.

Even running curl or wget via ssh can't access this.

[admin@trilogy root]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

even pinging 127 doesn't get through

Please could I check if there is a way of doing so that I'm missing?


Thank you
