Hi guys,

I tried these commands, please see the response.

Thanks again for any help in advance.

		If you mean 127.0.0.1 from the linux side, the loopback
module isn't
		getting loaded. Try:

		        /sbin/insmod loop

		It might require:

		        /sbin/insmod loop; /sbin/ifconfig lo up

		See if that helps. If not look in
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/block and
		see if it has a module named loop.o in there. If not,
something either
		erased it or you recompiled the kernel without the loopback
support it
		needs.

		That would be my guess. Of course, this was written
relatively quickly and
		I may have overlooked something.
