What I do not understand is why I get a packet loss of 91% on localhost
when I can ping another simillar system and get no packet loss. The
software is the same on both systems.

--- localhost ping statistics ---
9590 packets transmitted, 769 packets received, 91% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.1/48.0/100.2 ms

--- dom2.hws.edu ping statistics ---
2305 packets transmitted, 2304 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.4/0.4/0.7 ms
