Is it not coming up at all, or is it just taking a long time, like
minutes, to come up? Try it from the command line and give it a few
minutes. If it does eventually come up then it's probably a problem
with DNS on your machine. Do a

hostname

and make sure you have a line in your /etc/hosts file that looks like:

127.0.0.1	<hostname> localhost

where <hostname> is whatever name is reported when you run the
hostname command.
