I believe mandrake uses the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* scripts. In the same manner as
RedHat, I may be wrong...

Check ifcfg-lo is set up it should read like this, check ONBOOT is set
to yes, etc.

DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
