Any suggestions? Thank You for your answer, Octavian At 00.21 23/03/99 -0700, you wrote: >24.64.228.185 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 10 fxp0 Here's the problem. Packets sent to the IP address of your system must use the 127.0.0.1 gateway (right), passing through fxp0 (wrong). You need lo0 instead of fxp0, there. >lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 Here's the confirmation: 127.0.0.1 isn't bound to lo0. >Anyone know how I could fix this? Check your /etc/rc.conf[.local]: you need lo0 in the network interfaces list AND a line like this: ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" Be careful not to have the right line in rc.conf and something resetting it in rc.conf.local, for example.
