Hi,

I'm working on a new instance of Debian Woody, and have noticed that I
appear to have no local loopback internet device.  That is, any
attempt to reach 127.0.0.1 fails.  A ping says "network is
unreachable".  When I try reaching by hostname "debian", an attempt is
made to reach "127.0.0.1" (localhost).  Even stranger is the fact that
I can access any other internet host.  I've never seen a machine
without local loopback.  How do I add this?


Any thoughts?
