Try killing the loopback..

I think its something like:

Code:

ifconfig lo down


I would check man ifconfig though.

I'm having the same problem exactly. Any solutions stumbled upon would be much appreciated. I've tried quite a few different solutions, none seem to do the trick.

Yea, I've done an "ifconfig lo down" defore. It didn't show any error, but the interface was still present even without the a switch, which is supposed to mean it was still active. I can find anything that would cause this. I can bring eth0 down fine, and it dissapears, but lo seems to be permanent somehow.

I can bring lo down. I then tried to wget a tarball, whereupon I get the same error as before (hostname lookup failure), only this time there is a dramatic pause before the error pops up.

Well, all I seem to be able to conclude is that the problem with the network is specific to the card I have. With that assumption, I am going to try SLIP instead to transfer the files. If anyone has any source of decent information on how to setup SLIP please tell.
