Re: Cannot ping localhost

OK, so let's first make that localhost stuff.
What does "ifconfig -a" say? Can you ping that host's IP-Adress (e.g.
192.168.0.25)? From inside that host/another computer?

Perhaps your lo interface (loooopback) is not setup. It should say something
like
lo     inet addr: 127.0.0.1 [...]
        UP [...]

if not try #ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
and then ping again.

However, if no success, just mail your "ifconfig -a" output.

An- enjoy the weekend -selm
