That doesn't seem to be the problem - the loopback device appears to be up and running: > ifconfig [snip] lo Link encap:Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:20360 (19.8 KiB) TX bytes:20360 (19.8 KiB) However the problem seems a little more complicated than I first thought. With mozilla not working, I installed firebird as a temporary fix. It seemed to work fine at first, but then after a reboot I encountered the same problem - firebird freezes as soon as I click the mouse or hit a key in the window. However, if left, rather than killed, then after a few minutes it starts responding again, and I have no further problems. I have also noticed a similar problem with the GNOME Panel buttons, but only when I am also online via a PCMCIA ethernet card, connected using dhclient. The system is Debian Sarge on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop, with a PCMCIA ethernet card (3COM Megahertz ethernet or Orinoco Wireless ethernet cards).
