I have installed Fedora Core 4 on my firewall machine. My networked machines can browse the web, but I cannot access the loopback device, eg, for SWAT configuration. ifconfig lo shows the loopback interface to be UP and RUNNING at inet addr 127.0.0.1 ping localhost results in 100% packet loss The routing tables do not show a loopback entry, and if I try to add one I get errors. Can anyone tell me what's going on? -- -Dan Dr. Dan Martin, MD, CCFP, BSc, BCSc (Hon) GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Science grad student ummar143@cc.umanitoba.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on
