Hallo Mike,

well first I do not have a network card at all, just want to use the loopback
127.0.0.1.

Now typing ifconfig gives nothing.

[root@localhost /root]# ifconfig -a
lo         Linkverkapselung:Locale Schleife
          LOOPBACK  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          Empfangene Pakete:0 Fehler:0 Weggeworfen:0 �berlauf:0 Rahmen:0
          Verschickte Packete:0 Fehler:0 Weggeworfen:0 �berlauf:0 Rahmen:0
          Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenl�nge:0

[root@localhost /root]# ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 octets data
sendto: Network is unreachable

[root@localhost /root]# ifconfig lo up
[root@localhost /root]# ifconfig -a
lo         Linkverkapselung:Locale Schleife
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          Empfangene Pakete:0 Fehler:0 Weggeworfen:0 �berlauf:0 Rahmen:0
          Verschickte Packete:0 Fehler:0 Weggeworfen:0 �berlauf:0 Rahmen:0
          Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenl�nge:0

I tried to start the loopback, but even with it running 127.0.0.1 is still
unreachable. I have no idea why? My LM 7.0 was running without any problems
with the loopback, I just had to activate inetd, but now with LM 7.2 it does
not work. PLZ help.


Thanx in advance

Andreas
