Hello World, i've installed a frozen 2.2 debian and encountered some problems setting up route & network loopback. First I found that a "nslookup localhost" wasn't working. Since no network is attached to the PC i understood that i have to configure loopback/route. I configured the loopback device using >ifconfig -lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig told me LOOPBACK DEVICE UP (or so) and a >ping 127.0.0.1 worked I think that i have to configure route as well and tried a >route add -net 127.0.0.0 or >route add -net 127.0.0.1 and got the errormsg SIODTTR (something like it) A cat /proc/net/route showed me no routing at all. System is a Debian 2.2 frozen with a 2.2.14 homebrew Kernel i.e. not the standard 2.2.15 Kernel any more. Will update to 2.2.15 again soon. Could anybody tell me: Where is my mistake?
