I'll second this. I have the most recent (as far as I know) SLS
(0.99pl6), and have been tying for a couple of days to get the loopback
stuff working so I can learn about the networking stuff.
I have read the FAQ, the NET-FAQ, and all other documentation I can find.
I have read some stuff a friend has on tcp/ip networking
TCP/IP _should_ be in my kernel, as I recompiled it and marked it to be
enabled.
But I can't get anything to work after following the instructions in the
net-faq.
if I try to telnet to 127.0.0.1 (which I thought was myself) I get back
"tcp/telnet: unknown service"
I get similar responses for ftp, rlogin, and rsh.
What am I doing wrong? I apologize if I'm just being stupid, but I'm
doing the best that I can...
