It's not loading because what Crossover does is run IE8 in an emulated
system. The 127.0.0.1 is likely referring to the emulated windows.
That being said, Crossover is using WINE which on Mac especially, is
rather sketchy. I haven't had much luck with it on either Linux or
Windows. That being said, it sounds almost like the network connection
is not being passed to IE 8. I'd suggest grabbing a copy of Firefox or
another browser and giving it a try. It may just be that Crossover
isn't providing an accurate enough emulation for IE8's liking.

HTH,
Chris
