Well, I don't know how obvious it is, but it's the difference between
192.168.0.12 and 127.0.0.1. Localhost is the latter, and that will work,
because that's permitted by /etc/xinetd.d/swat. If you want this to work
using your normal IP address, you'll need to add it to that file. Just
use a space to separate it, and if you don't want any other machines on
the network to access it, use "192.168.0.12/32". Otherwise, it'd be
"192.168.0.0/24". After changing, be sure to `/etc/init.d/xinetd
reload'.
