lost localhost
We had a power failure and my linux box has become corrupted. With both a dhcp and direct cable available, I had set it for the direct connection, but when rebooting after the blackout, the dhcp cable was inadvertently swapped out and it rewrote all my settings.
I've been trying to use the linuxconf tool, but when I do a Route, it doesn't seem to be taking my settings, and when I use route commands the information, including the default gateway (router info) doesn't seem to survive a reboot.
I had it recognizing localhost but not the internet/network, then I resolved the network problem, but now localhost has disappeared.
When I do a route -n I get 127.0.0.0 for lo, but my ifcfg-lo is:
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.55.255.255
ONBOOT="yes"
NAME="loopback"
As well, the route -n shows that the fourth set of numbers in the destination Column are 0 rather than what's set in the ifcgh-eth0 file.
Any help gratefully appreciated,
Keith
