Hi Nikhil,
Just check whether you have lo device up.Hmm u can check it by using 'ifconfig lo'.
and if it is down you can bring it up by using 'ifup lo'
Try this hope it works Ciao Tapesh

Hello All,
I am quite new to Linux system. I installed Red Hat 7.1 on my home computer, which is a stand alone pc, and has no network connected. During installation my mouse was malfunctioning and I may have missed some N/w configuration screens. The problem is whenever i try pinging localhost ping 127.0.0.1 it gives this error: connect: no network found. I tried changing the NETWORKING field to "no" in the file /etc/sysconfig/network Also I checked /etc/hosts for localhost and its there. I discovered this error when I installed webmin and tried to browse to http://127.0.0.1:10000 to run it. Please help, Nikhil
