1. Check out whether you have the /etc/networ/interfaces file. If it's there, just add the following line at the top of it: iface lo inet loopback After doing so, execute the following command line as root: ifup -a 2. If #1 isn't working for you for some reason, you can use the older approach: Check whether you have the /etc/init.d/network script. If it's there try putting the following lines at the top (below the shebang): ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 From now on on every startup the lo interface should be configured and running. You can type those commands without restarting the machine, of course. hope that helps marek
