That's to be expected, it's part of the IP spec.Each machine has its
own localhost, which is always going to be 127.0.0.1.

But one of your machines has an IP ending in 100, and the other one
ends in 151. Since you're on a public router, those IP addresses might
change from one instance to the next. If both machines are on the
network (at least that is what should be the case, if all traffic for
the rental units go through the same device) but stiill it seems you
can't ping the x.x.x.100 system from the x.x.x.151 system, or it's the
other way around.
