In the file

/etc/network/interfaces you should have a some lines that

# The loopback network interface

MIne looks like this: 
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dynamic

Then you should do a

ls -l /etc/init.d/networking
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2651 2005-03-21 11:49 networking

Mine says:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2633 Jan 26 19:16 /etc/init.d/networking

 

and verify that it is executable.

It is.

Then look in

/etc/hosts

you should have a line that looks like this

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

Mine:
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost    Litwin

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

If you have made any changes, start, or restart your
networking

To start networking, as root execute
/etc/init.d/networking start

To restart networking, as root execute
/etc/init.d/networking restart

Mine:
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.
Reconfiguring network interfaces.../etc/network/interfaces:7: unknown method
ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
/etc/network/interfaces:7: unknown method
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
done.

Let me know how it works out.

I think the problem is the lo loopback. When I did ifconfig, it did not come up: I did ifconfig lo up and it is there; but mayhaps it is not doing any thing? the http://localhost:631 still times out.

Thank you in advance.
