localhost vanished
I have just checked *ping 127.0.0.1* and have found *network unreachable*
*ifconfig -a* shows *lo* entry with out the inet-address. I have
checked /etc/hosts file and get the line
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain debian
so I did 1) ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
2) route add 127.0.0.1
after executing the second line an error message came as
SIOCADDRT: No such device
now * ping 127.0.0.1 * again started working but after restarting the machine
my localhost vanished and *ifconfig* gave a blank output. have I done any
mistake to configure the loopback ? how can I solve the problem ? please
suggest. thanks. pls cc to me
