Ah, a fellow Hungarian!
Localhost is reserved for the loopback interface, which is 127.. In plain English this means that it is for connecting to your own computer, a "loop". Localhost, as far as I know, must, or at the very least should without a VERY VERY VERY good reason not be changed from 127.0.0.1. In general, its just bad practice to use local, localhost, etc in a lan. Instead, take one of the reserved address for local intranets. 10. is a Class A network that is not routed on the internet. That means 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is safe to use locally.
