    I can't access to Internet as often as in the past. Sorry for the late
    reply!

    My wrong typo. I meant that this box can not ping or telnet to itself,
    but it can "see" the rest of the world. Pinging 127.0.0.1, telneting
    localhost, ftping 127.0.0.1 wait indefinitely without error message.

    No error messages including "connection refused". No firewall is setup.
    This box can access to any site other than itself. Other hosts can
    telnet, ftp to this strange box. Entry "127.0.0.1 localhost" was entered
    in /etc/hosts.
