Add the following line by using console window, netcfg utility or add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: [root@linux/] #: route add -net 127.0.0.0 lo or [root@linux/] #: route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo I think the first line is more important like the second. I also had the same problem on our Linux Mandrake 7.0 (Russian Edition). And it did solve it by these lines. I added the line to my rc.local file. 73!
