Hi guys,
Im fairly new to linux and i have this problem:
When i launch my samba server it literally takes 5 minutes to go from [BUSY] to [DONE]
The same thing happens when i want to launch a P2P program called Azureus, the java applet takes 5 minutes to start and the message it gives me is: Startup argsa to already-running Azureus java process listening on 127.0.0.1:6880
After 5 minutes this connection times out, and the program launches. really weird.
When installing arch, i removed lo from my rc.conf file, and im starting to worry that that had something to do with it. Dont ask me why i removed it. I thought i didnt needed it... :oops:
Thanks i hope you guys can help me

You figured out your own problem. Indeed, you need lo; various programs use the loopback network connection to talk to other programs or parts.

lo is holy. Not having the loopback 127.0.0.1 is like have a chair with only 3 paws.

Great ok,
So i should add the following to my rc.conf?
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
?
