Installed 9.2 and except for my printer, which it said it found and
installed but could not print from OpenOffice, installed everything very
well.

Except localhost that is. My DSL commection works fine, which means my
"eth0" is working. But I cannot access localhost via telnet or anything
else, but I can ping it. When I do an "ifconfig" "lo" shows up with the
"127.0.0.1" address and the "255.0.0.0" mask. But when I try to reach it,
it is a total no go. The error message is something like "device not
available."

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Deb
