last week I did a fresh install of Woody
on a single machine, single user desktop that has a dialup 
connect to the net.

I have not been able to connect to localhost for some reason

I've tried apache and dhttpd and trying to http://localhost
to either port 80 or 631 gives me a connection refused error

if I try to telnet in I get: 
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

even trying to use lpadmin gives a 
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: No route to host

exim runs fine, fetchmail is ok, procmail is good. actually everything
else is working as expected

I've even tried different kernels 2.2.20 and 2.4.16

Never had a problem like this before and I think I've pulled out
enough hair already :) Just have a feeling it's something small
and right under my nose but I can't figure it out.

/etc/hosts.conf looks like
order hosts.bind
multi on

/etc/hostname
Panda

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 Panda localhost

I've also tried adding localhost.localdoamin as suggested
from a search I did on this list but that didn't help

/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
are both blank

/etc/resolv.conf
has the correct dns for my local isp


What am I missing or what did I forget...ANY suggestions or even
places to look and check for more info would be appreciated
