Misunderstanding MS KB article on Loopback Check security feature


the question [1] tells: 

  •  "in windows 2008, find tcp connections public ip e.g. 1.2.3.4 127.0.0.1:8334 fail" 

ms kb article [2] (on loopback check security feature in windows-es) explains as: 

  • "authentication fails if fqdn or the custom host header use does not match local computer  name"

 

questions (reformulating [4]):   

1)

aren't fqdns of of both 127.0.0.1 , 1.2.3.4 (of same machine) question [1] same? 


2)

don't fqdn of 1.2.3.4 match local computer name (in case of tcp connection 1.2.3.4 127.0.0.1) in question [1]?

 

3)
i'd grateful if answer questions [3] related these questions
