That doesn't seem to be the problem - the loopback
device appears to be up and running:
> ifconfig
[snip]
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

However the problem seems a little more complicated
than I first thought. With mozilla not working, I
installed firebird as a temporary fix. It seemed to
work fine at first, but then after a reboot I
encountered the same problem - firebird freezes as
soon as I click the mouse or hit a key in the window.
However, if left, rather than killed, then after a few
minutes it starts responding again, and I have no
further problems.
I have also noticed a similar problem with the GNOME
Panel buttons, but only when I am also online via a
PCMCIA ethernet card, connected using dhclient.
The system is Debian Sarge on a Toshiba Tecra 8000
laptop, with a PCMCIA ethernet card (3COM Megahertz
ethernet or Orinoco Wireless ethernet cards).
Thanks,
naomi.
