Problem with ping on myself



Hi.
Debian is new to me.
Í have got the 2.2r3 potato version with the 2.2.19pre17 Kernel.
That's a little bit old , i thought, and so i compiled the 2.4.17 Kernel.
Now I've got a problem with sending a ping on my self.
What I've done: First: I've insmod the modul for my network-card. (bash~> insmod 8139too.o)
                       and then I've set up the card: bash~> ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
                       OK.
                       New the card is intalled.
But when I execute ifconfig there is just the card and no loopback-device.
Might this be the reason why I can't ping myself ???
If yes, then I would like to know how to set up an loopback device.
I think that I should have select it while chosing all the Kernel options with 'make menuconfig'
So I've checked again.
But there is no option named 'loopback device' or something similar, that I could chose in the menuconfig!
Is it named diffrently ???
 
Ok. thanks and sorry for my bad english ;-)
 
c ya
