Run "/sbin/ifconfig". Do you see the local loopback device ("lo") listed in the output? The lo entry should look similar to this:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
