Hi,
You certainly have a strange problem :-)). My first inclination, is to check
your "/etc/hosts" file, to make sure that the correct entries are listed
there.
I would also make sure that, if not already, there is an entry for
localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1
Have you tried pinging another machine (except localhost), to see if you get
any replies???
Regards,
Thomas Adam
