yes....the problem is solved....for those who experienced this kinda problem...follow the steps below to rectify your loopback device...my server was running fine all along until one day it suddenly starts getting the "neighbour table overflow" error and even after restart the problem exists and NIS n yp have problems starting...churning out the command ifconfig only shows the eth0 device while loobback device is not listed.manually adding it by typing ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 only helps temporarily.thus goto /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo and add in the details as shown if yours doesn't yield the required info....
