mmm... I don't use PPP at all, nor dhcp.
My DSL box act as a NAT-router. Its local adress is 192.168.0.254 and my PC
is at 192.192.0.9 (fixed IP).

Firstly, I suspected a bug in the DSL box, so I reset it but it did not help.
I have to reboot the PC (don't need to reset the DSL box).
Could a router problem prevent "ping 127.0.0.1" from working ?
[this becomes somewhat off-topic for LKML, sorry]
Here's my routing table:
linux-2.6-mm$ LANG=C netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
It seems it lacks a route for 127.0.0.1 through lo, isn't it? In this case, if
eth0 hangs, 127.0.0.1 hangs too, no?
So, it could be an ethernet driver bug. I'm using ne2k-pci.
