I have seen sagnant static routes cause IP services to fail. I seriously
doubt this your problem, BTW, what is the output of the "netstat -rn"?
the command "route flush" should delete any routes.

check the rc.conf (or /etc/defaults/rc.conf) to see if the firewall
option was enabled. sounds to me that the firewall could be enabled and
like everything is set for denied access.

if you compile the kernel with the Berkeley Packet Filter option, try
running tcpdump(8) on the ethernet and loopback interfaces and see
what is being reported. if the firewall option is running, you will not
see any output.

the command "netstat -i" will give you octet counts, if you are pinging
the loopback, the output count on lo0 should be increasing (again if
the firewall code is not activated and denying transmission).
