I got this  --->
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:12040 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12040 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1006708 (983.1 Kb)  TX bytes:1006708 (983.1 Kb)
which, I guess means my eithernet card is'nt configured......
