This was a working system for a long time. Then I swapped the hard drive to another box. Now, after recompiling the kernel, I have these problems. After doing the "ifconfig lo0 127.1", ping 127.0.0.1 did work, as did a ping of the local IP address. But... > For lasting relief, make sure that you have this in your /etc/rc.conf: > > ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. When I made the above change and rebooted, ping 127.0.0.1 no longer works. Not even after doing a "ifconfig lo0 127.1". > You also *used* to need to set the name in the network_interfaces > variable: > > network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 ep0 lo0 tun0 xl0" > > I'm not sure whether that still applied to 3.3 or not.

Which is why I didn't think the messages I was finding in -questions applied to my situation. Still trying more stuff. thanks.
