It looks like many people had trouble with this, and a common cause is a misconfigured /etc/network/interfaces. There is a thread here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179745), and a fix here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180447). In the forum thread they mention checking ~/.xsession-errors for other errors, and this worked for me (I had a few invalid lines in my ~/.Xmodmap file). Just for convenience you can use 'ifconfig -a | grep -A4 ^lo' in terminal to check whether your loopback network interface is running, or use the Network Monitor applet in your systray.
