*brain-break* Shouldn't that be 127.0.0.1?

Nope. 127.0.1.1

Why is Localhost 1.1 in Ubuntu instead of 0.1 as is the norm?

Enquiring minds and all that :)

localhost is still 127.0.0.1, the name of the machine is 127.0.1.1

Ahh! I wasn't aware of that. I learned something today *grin*

And I have no idea why. Googling only comes up with problems caused by it.. no explanation of why they set things up this way.
