Strange 127.0.0.11 network problem

Got a real strange problem at home on my xp machine, I am trying to connect to a remote access server at work. Its setup to map the ip address 127.0.0.11 to a server at work.
But for some reason on my xp machine all 127.0.0.* addresses go stright to local host. Example:
ping 127.0.0.15
Pinging 127.0.0.15 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 127.0.0.15:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

does anyone know why xp seems to be reverting all 127.0.0.* addresses to 127.0.0.1???

Cheers
