Hi, I have problem with my network interface. Heres what happens when I try to telnet to my own machine: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable I tracked down to problem to my loopback interface, from one of the HOWTO's. Now everything works fine if I give the commands: root# ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 root# route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo What do they do? How do I make these changes permanent? Is there any conf file that can be directly edited?? Please help! Sameer.
