Run Network Utility and check what the IP address on your network card is (if it has been assigned one). Execute the following command: Ping (you can use the Terminal or the Ping tab in Network Utility [in 10.2]) 127.0.0.1. This will ping the internal loopback adapter in the NIC to test that the TCP/IP protocol is functioning. Let us know how that goes. -- Best, Mark.
