> Type "/sbin/ifconfig". Is the "lo" interface up? Yeah, but it has no addr. I got it working by doing this: ifconfig lo addr 127.0.0.1 and then localhost works, printing works, etc. Let me point out that the Mandrake net config tool is very very broken. Most of the time I try to start it, it times out. When I installed a ppp link, it didn't know to make that the default route, so net didn't work, so then I deleted the ether device, and I lost loopback. If I were a newbie user who didn't know how to use the ifconfig and route commands at all, I would be completely stuck with a system with no net. I hope that either the tool is fixed in 8.1 or else it just completely reverts back to old-style config files which I can edit by hand, because what Mandrake has now is just broken.
