Cannot ping loopback address ... arrggg

Ok, I am using win2k Adv Serv, and just set up my LAN.
I've installed all the protocols required for a simple network - Netbeui, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX.
Netbeui works fine, cause I can see both computers.
IPX/SPX works fine because I have tried running a network game.
Then when I try to access the Internet on the client machine, it wont work. So I tried pinging the host computer...no reply.
Then I went to the host computer to ping a loopback (127.0.01) ... no reply.
This has wasted me practically half a day trying to fix this problem.
Does anyone know what is wrong ???
 


<< r u running any kind of firewall software? If u r disable the firewall and try to ping again >>



Right. If you discover that the firewall is your problem, then make sure to allow ALL PROTOCOL TRAFFIC (TCP/UDP/ICMP) from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1.
