That's what I get when I'm connected. It's something with the ip-up
and ip-down scripts, I guess...

Here's my /etc/hosts:

socrates provas$  cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost	socrates loghost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


With this, w3m doesn't find localhost... Because telnet localhost 80
doesn't work.

Are you running potato or woody? TThis is woody, here.
