Is it bad if I get different results when I do a "ping localhost" in windows command prompt, depending on whether I am or am not connected to a wireless network?

when connected I get:
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1>ping localhost

when NOT connected I get:

One is IPV4 the other is IPV6. No difference, both are less than 1ms response with no loss.

JJ, thanks for responding.

I am curious though why pinging my localhost produces different results if I am NOT connected to a wireless network.

- thanks for your time, S.
