Are there lines as follows in your /etc/network/interfaces ? auto lo iface lo inet loopback This as far as I know is required to be able to hit 127.0.0.1. I can't remember (and by looking back in the thread) if you have a firewall configuration running that would conflict with some tcp/ip issues. --mike
