The only problem for me is that my loopback device doesn't seem to be
working at all. My /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
mapping eth1
script /etc/network/autofind
map 1UC68 home
iface home inet dhcp
wireless-essid 1UC68
wireless-mode Open
wireless-key 0FB3D18E79
I don't see anything wrong with it, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Apache2 is responding when I direct my browser to http://localhost
though...Doesn't Apache2 use loopback as well?
