This may sound like really simple steps, but did you..
- Run "ifconfig" and make sure that the "lo" interface is activated?
- Check the /etc/hosts file and make sure that the name "localhost" is
associated with an IP address, hopefully 127.0.0.1?

Subject: [Cooker] Getting there
I posted an e-mail regarding the java debugger supplied with the Sun Java
SDK.
Well, after much messing around I have found that Sun, bless 'em, missed one
file out of the SDK tar ball (it was in ALL the RC releases !) and didn't
copy
a library file to /usr/lib ! (Thanks to Blackdown for that by suggesting
using
strace.)
Any way, to another problem. The java debugger now complains about not being
able to connect to the local host.
So, I tried ping localhost, and ping 127.0.0.1
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
Why doesn't this work anymore !?!?!?!?!?
It used to work, well when I say used to, I haven't tried ping'ing for ages
and
ages.
Anyway, is this why I can't connect to localhost, or is this a red herring.
Help please,
Owen
