One problematic machine running a Debian-based distro (ubuntu 9.10)
will answer to pings from other computers, but will not answer to
pings on 127.0.0.1 from itself. Likewise, it will not answer to pings
to localhost nor to its own IP address (pings to it's own IP address
are answered if I try from other machines, though). There is no
firewall installed on the machine and the /etc/hosts file has nothing
unusual. There is a Java program listening on port 8082, other than
that there is nothing unusual about this machine. What could be the
issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Ron! That was it!

Adding lo to /etc/network/interfaces fixed the problem. You are a genius!

I never claimed not to be slow! Actually, I don't know if that was
meant to offend, but I am not offended. I learn a lot from this list.
Google me, you will see that I've been subscribed a long time but
barely ever post. Only this week, have I been slightly active. And yes
I STFA, STFW, and RTFM as much as I can. That's why I only asked two
or three questions the past few days, opposed to the tens of issues
that I have encountered in that time.

No, but I didn't know which keywords to google. I'm wiser now.

I broke it trying to force the computer to take a specific IP address.
One of those issues that I decided to learn by doing, rather than
bugging the list about. Only when I got seriously stuck did I waste
the list bandwidth, and even then only with a very specific question.
