If even changing to a different ethernet device does not improve things,
there must be something else causing the trouble. To be sure you didn't
broke the loopback resolving, what's the content of your /etc/hosts
file?

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost

It _must_ contain this line.
