Do not make assumptions.  You need to find out exactly what you are
really connecting to.

Not necessarily.  A lot of internet protocols use similar response
syntaxes.  You shouls use a packet sniffer, such as Ethereal, to see
the raw packet data.  Only then can you really verify what you are
actually connected to.

As I told you earlier, that can only occur if you are connected to a
server on the local machine only.  If you were really connected to an
external server on the network, the LocalAddress would not be
reporting the local loopback address.

It might be useful if you could show your actual TClientSocket code
here.  You are probably just setting it up wrong.
