A little background in case it is needed.
This machine I have just recently updated from 7.1 to 8.1, updating everything in this process.
The machine is in my office and not at is final resting home, and is currently using DHCP not the static IP which the machine will have.
That all said.
lo0 does not have the standard 127.0.0.1 loopback address, it has nothing.
results of ifconfig
netstat -r gives me this in return
In rc.conf I had commented out the static IP addresses for em0 and em1. Added:
Just to handle the dhcp of my office.
I have not had an issue with this before. I built and tested this server here in my office using dhcp and the loopback was there, and able to test everything which connects to loopback.
Since this problem arose, I did try adding this to rc.conf
which did nothing.
yet I do:
and loopback seems to come up
Could someone please enlighten me as to why this is? might this be a problem when I go back to the static IP?
Is this something I should be as concerned about as I currently am? How to avoid this in the future?
Thank you.
