winsock

I have used the following code in a form that acts like a server,

WskServer(0).Close  
LocalIP = WskServer(0).LocalIP  
WskServer(0).LocalPort = DEFAULT_TCP_PORT  
WskServer(0).Protocol = sckTCPProtocol  
txtStatus.Text = "Starting server"  
Call WskServer(0).Bind(DEFAULT_TCP_PORT, LocalIP)  
WskServer(0).Listen

when i execute above code,i received the following error
"Address is not available from the local machine" .

If i changed the line

Call WskServer(0).Bind(DEFAULT_TCP_PORT, LocalIP)

to

Call WskServer(0).Bind(DEFAULT_TCP_PORT, "127.0.0.1")  this is working

What's wrong with the code?, can anybody give the fix

Update
I just removed the line Call WskServer(0).Bind(DEFAULT_TCP_PORT, LocalIP) now server working properly. this way is correct or not
