Well, this also explains your mail problem.  I assume that you have
the netbase package installed; if not, then install it.  Check to see
that inetd is running: 
ps -aux | grep '[i]netd'
If this command shows nothing, then inetd (which monitors the TCP
ports for standard internet services and then dispatches them to the
appropriate program) isn't running - try re-installing netbase.
