OK, what I get is this:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:() errors:() dropped:() overruns:() frame:()
TX packets:() errors:() dropped:() overruns:() carrier:()
collisions:() txqueuelen:()
Should I glean anything from that?
