[rich <legacy@PLINK.ORG>]

question.. i must of done something a few weeks back and never relized it
messed up. but as of now i can't make any local connections. All network
unreachables. ifconfig shows lo and ppp0 both up and running. Any remote
host can make a connection without a problem, as long as im not 
connecting/pinging localhost from localhost

legacy@plink:~> su
Password:
root@plink:/usr/home/legacy> ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes

--- localhost ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
root@plink:/usr/home/legacy> telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
root@plink:/usr/home/legacy> 

another thing.. if i made a local mistake would that explain verio
sending me icmp_time_exceeded?  

Nov 13 22:37:22 plink icmpinfo: ICMP_Time_Exceeded < 207.21.100.33
[h3-paix1.ncal.verio.net] > 127.0.0.1 [localhost] sp=34308 dp=23
seq=0xb8f409aa sz=36(+20)

Much apriciated if anyone can help.
