Take a peek in /etc/hosts to see if localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1

583437 2007-08-21 10:13:00 That is a bit strange ...

[jennifer@myth ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 myth localhost.localdomain localhost

127.0.0.1 myth localhost.localdomain localhost

This is what I got
Instead of the 127.0.0.1, mine starts with ::1
Like I said before.. I have mucked around with the setttings a lot in the past. But it works fine with the ip address so its all good for now
