Do you have the loopback running ?
/sbin/ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:69736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:69736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0
/sbin/route |grep lo
localnet * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo
This is set up in /etc/init.d/network:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
