Thanks, tried it and still no luck. Cant ping either localhost or 
127.0.0.1. Perhaps i should post some details from my boot record, cos I 
do notice after the dhcp, there are network unreachable messages, but i 
cannot find where this boot log is stored...
On a side not, these problems started when i began to use gnome 
(2.12.13). Maybe unrelated but i never had these problems using kde, and 
the boot message of network unreachable seem to have happened at this 
time too.
