That's probably a `missing feature' in the way Windows XP handles
address binding.  On UNIX systems it has traditionally been possible to
connect to the IP address 0.0.0.0 and get redirected to localhost:

: kobe % telnet 0.0.0.0 25
: Trying 0.0.0.0...
: Connected to 0.0.0.0.
: Escape character is '^]'.
: 220 kobe.laptop ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.2/8.14.2; Sun, 30 Mar 2008 01:32:52
: +0200 (EET)
: ^]
: telnet> q
