Hmm, is that all?  Unusual; I'd think the loopback _should_ be set
up correctly.

`ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0`  ??

If that fixes it, then we have to figure out *why* it's not being
doing automatically.  Problem during init/rc, most likely ... weird.


I've not had time to address this problem for a week. Going through all the advice again I found that this advice is good. That fixes the problem. Any pointers on getting it done automatically?

What does /etc/rc.conf show for lo0 related things? (And just to check your defaults as well...)

egrep lo0 /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/*


Mine shows:

/etc/defaults/rc.conf:ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
