Can't ping localhost

I get a "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" error if I try to ping 127.0.0.1.  I'm pretty sure everything's configured correctly; it's worked before, but now it has suddenly stopped working.  I'm running this on VirtualBox.

Re: Can't ping localhost

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all returns 0.  I've figured out it's not just ping; I can't connect to localhost's ssh server, either.  The core networking seems to be broken.
