In case you haven't gotten an answer yet, Leila, you should have a loopback interface named 'lo' which is tied to 127.0.0.1. This should never be changed, and your eth0 is free to use your network address. By the way, private IP addresses are no different from public addresses, and are configured the same way. Please post again if you have more questions. -- Rodolfo J.
