lo is up, verified with ifconfig. I can ping 127.0.0.1, however pinging localhost results in "ping: unknown host localhost". I get the same result with anything else that I add to the hosts file.
Thanks,
Russ

Is there a config file somewhere that specifies whether or not the hosts file gets processed? My system is setup for DHCP and resolv.conf gets overwritten every time the system is booted.
