Re: Connection Problem

Hi,

I think you have badly configured routing table, I don't see there
loopback routing (lo device)
You should have line like this (lo - ended, 3rd line).

217.118.24.64   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.192 U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         217.118.24.65   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

I believe that you can connect to postmaster at IP 187.65.254.157 (if
it's not your dynamic address). After calling
route add -net 127.0.0.0
you should connect as well.

Check if you started all network interfaces at boot. Linux
distributions makes its different, you will need to call
/etc/init.d/*.lo or ifup lo from command line. Eventually check
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo there should be something like
STARTMODE=onboot

I really wonder how you connect to http://localhost if you don't have
route to it. I hope this helps you.
