Is the loopback interface up?
When you do an ifconfig, you should see something like:
$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:1866 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1866 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0
...
If not, then this is probably the problem. Otherwise, check your routing.
