Re: Connection Problem

hi,

you dont need a route for localhost access. his lo device is configured
properly. if localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 then access is ok. route is
needed for ips inside localhost subnet (127.0.0.0/8)

try:
route del -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0
ping localhost

regards
Thomas
