If you want to know the HITs of the localhost, run "ifconfig dummy0" or
"ip addr show dummy0".

This is one way to find out the HITs. Btw, it seems like you are using an
older snapshot of the code.

Questions:
* Did you have hipd running?
* Can you ping the peer using plain IP addresses?

This is correct. Just to be sure, I have to ask you one question. Did you
swap the HITs of the hosts? I mean that if you look at the HIT of host A
at host A (from ifconfig or hipd output), you need to insert the HIT to
/etc/hip/hosts at host B, and not A.
You can also try to use the "hipsetup" software with "-b" option:
http://hipl.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/ch06.html
There is also a script called "hipsetup" in "hipl/test" directory for
quick testing of the base exchange. Run it without arguments to see how it
is used. The script requires some external applications that will be
prompted if they are not found.
