Try ping `hostname`.  If this doesn't work (but ping localhost does)
you could do any of the following:

1. Add your hostname to the line in /etc/hosts reading
127.0.0.1       loopback localhost
(or similar)

2. Change your hostname to "localhost".

3. For kernel version >\approx 1.1.20, there is a 'dummy'
net device that can be used to add a route to your host.

I have myself only tried 1., and PVM works fine with it.
