Subject: tests fail when run without a network
Many of POE's tests require at least localhost (127.0.0.1) to be present. Some people don't have even localhost available, having firewalled it completely for security reasons. While a lot of POE deals with networking, it's still important not to fail the tests when a network is absent. Test POE with a complete "deny all" lockdown. Skip the tests that fail in this environment.
