Hi,

My /etc/network/interfaces contains:

auto lo eth0

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.0.3
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 192.168.0.1

However, "route -nv" shows there's no loopback route for
127.0.0.0. It's all very confusing as the change has
made several books obsolete. Does anyone else get this
loopback problem?
