Unable to ping localhost
Hi all, I have gone through many posts related to this issue,but my issue wasn't resolved hence creating new thread. I am unable to ping localhost. Code:
ping localhost tries to ping localhost which is defined in DNS. My /etc/hosts has entry for localhost as Code:
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost . My /etc/netsvc.conf has Code:
hosts = local, bind . Still i am not able to ping localhost . Please help. |

Just a first thought. Is the lo interface up?

Try with: Code:
# ifconfig lo | grep RUNNING UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 A couple of other questions. Is this a new problem? Are you running a firewall (i.e. iptables)? |

PFB Output Code:
XXXXXXX:/etc->ifconfig lo | grep RUNNING interface lo is invalid maybe this issue was since sometime, we came across this when using Datastage application as localhost ping is not working. And we are not running a firewall for this server. |

just to be sure: is netsvc.conf containing: Code:
hosts = local, bind I do not know for sure, but I have always removed any spaces. And, if you are not using IPv6 you might be happier with Code:
hosts=local4,bind4 |
