I added ifconfig_lo0=127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 to /etc/rc.conf but for unknown reasons it now looks like this and I still need to set lo0 manually after reboots: ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 Any ideas? I am running FreeBSD 7 I noticed before when you posted your ifconfig with missing localhost IPv4 address. You shouldn't have had to add it to rc.conf in the first place, as you should find this line existing in /etc/defaults/rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 # default loopback device configuration. Check that nothing has messed with /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and also that you have no later ifconfig_lo0 entry in rc.conf. The last one found there is the one that applies, later entries overriding earlier ones. Apart from that, I can't imagine what might be deleting your default localhost configuration, unless you're using rc.local? Otherwise I'd be searching any active scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for any oddnesses that may hae been installed by some port or other? Cheers, Ian I did find it in /etc/default/rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 # default loopback device configuration. I found the problem. lo0 was not listed in network_interfaces in rc.conf Adding it fixed the problem. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
