Abhshek ,
your network interface is not functional .
I'm not sure what kind of network interface you are using , but if it is a
PCI /onboard
LAN card , it should show up as eth0 when you do an "ifconfig" , if properly
working .
lo is only the local loopback interface , not a network interface .
Check i) your network interface card is properly installed physically .
ii) the appropriate driver for your network interface is
statically
build into the kernel or inserted as a loadable module .
iii) it has been properly configured for IP address and
netmask and
gateway and nameserver (if applicable) , either
statically or via
DHCP .
iv) cables / wireless is connected to proper sockets /
antennas .
Finally you should be able to ping the other machine sucessfully .
If in doubt look how to configure the network in your distribution's help
/install guide .
