Hello, i think the 127.0.0.1/8 is stored in /etc/network/spoof-protect. I suggest to you looking in this file and setting the right values for all configuration options. For me the file looks like this: LOCAL_IPS="127.0.0.1/8" LOCAL_IFACES="eth0 eth1 ppp0" If you only have one network card and no other connection (like ISDN or something, you can remove the eth1 and ppp0 thing in LOCAL_IFACES. Look in /etc/network/interfaces too for wrong settings. Normally there is one loopback and one eth interface entry. After changing these files to the right values, do a /etc/init.d/networking restart to reconfigure your interfaces. Hope that helps, Daniel
