hello,

my mom had that probelm. look into /etc/network/interfaces (see also
'man interfaces') and make sure you have the loopback (lo) interface in
there. my interfaces file has the following two lines about the
loopback:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

try that, and let us know if you still have trouble.
