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 -- Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
