Sounds cool.. Enjoy :-)

i think that should detect your loopback address (127.0.0.1). Check if that pulls your loopback or not by using command ifconfig. If that doesn't pull the address then check the file ifcfg-lo which should be located under /etc/sysconfig/network/ . If the file is not located there then create one file and make the suiitable entries as mentioned in the screenshot.And after saving the file just restart the network service by executing the command service...

Do you have a file /etc/init.d/xinetd?

Try to list existing services..

If this doesn't work then check if xinetd rpm is installed on box or not. by the command if that is not installed then go to http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...&search=xinetd
