You may check if the loopback device (lo) is up.

That was my problem some weeks ago. I forgot to set it auto in less 
/etc/network/interfaces. It used to work that way long time, but on 
one point the wrong behavior (lo was start although not set to auto) 
changed, but that was causing the problem.

Maybe one can add 

ifup lo

to the kde-startupscript. dcop seems to need the loopback interface.
