I had this once after installing Debian. I seem to remember that I
traced it to an absent /etc/network/interfaces. Mine has:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 127.0.0.0
broadcast 127.0.0.255
gateway 127.0.0.1
