[Gllug] issues with awk

[dudes dudes]

Hello, 

Can kindly someone give me some inputs with an awk issue :

I have a dummy file that looks like this:

127.0.0.1 127.0.0.3
1.2.3.4   127.0.0.3
127.0.0.1 1.2.3.4
1.2.3.4   127.0.0.1
23.4.5.11 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 1.1.1.1
127.0.0.1 2.2.2.2
127.0.0.1 3.3.3.3
127.0.0.2
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

when I issue the following via the command line: 

root at darkstar:~/r# awk '$1=="127.0.0.1" {print}' test.txt

I get these results and this is what I'm looking for (correct answer):

127.0.0.1 127.0.0.3
127.0.0.1 1.2.3.4
127.0.0.1 1.1.1.1
127.0.0.1 2.2.2.2
127.0.0.1 3.3.3.3
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

However; if I script this in bash such as:

ip="127.0.0.1"

awk '$1==$ip {print}' test.txt

I never get the right results. 

thanks very much for any suggestions or help
