In the file
/etc/network/interfaces you should have a some lines that

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
MIne looks like this:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dynamic
Then you should do a
ls -l /etc/init.d/networking
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2651 2005-03-21 11:49 networking
Mine says:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2633 Jan 26 19:16 /etc/init.d/networking
and verify that it is executable.
It is.
Then look in
/etc/hosts
you should have a line that looks like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Mine:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Litwin
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::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
If you have made any changes, start, or restart your
networking
To start networking, as root execute
/etc/init.d/networking start
To restart networking, as root execute
/etc/init.d/networking restart
Mine:

Let me know how it works out.

I
think the problem is the lo loopback. When I did ifconfig, it did not
come up: I did ifconfig lo up and it is there; but mayhaps it is not
doing any thing? the
