you dont set your realmlist to 127.0.0.1 thats just connecting back to yourself. If your friend is using hamachi tell him to give you the hamachi ip adress for himself. No matter what program he is using there is an ip adress you need to put in to your realmlist to play with him. also make sure you only put "set realmlist *****" because if you leave the other two lines it can connect to blizzard and they will ban your ip adress

Are you on the same network at his house? If so, then connect to the Ip address of the server.
If you are at home, he has to make sure that all the ports are forwarded on his router, and then you have to connect to his public IP address.
127.0.0.1 is a local loopback IP address, it always connects to your own machine.... It is not valid for connecting to other machines, regardless of how the network is connected....

Your friend probably port forwarded his server on his router. You have to find HIS Internet IP address to put in to your file to connect. Have him search "What is my IP" to find his Internet IP (NOT local IP, anything starting with 192.168. will not work outside his house, and 127.0.0.1 ALWAYS connects to the PC you're using it on, it's the local address). The Internet IP is provided to your cable/DSL modem by your ISP, so you only have one Internet IP address.

well...
1. Hamachi
2. 127.0.0.1 is localhost so unless you are hosting it, you will not be able to log in
hamachi is a VPN, which means it keeps him secure while you can still connect, goodluck with that
