Try to ping 127.0.0.1, this is the loopback device. If you get a reply
then it work and you have your tcp/ip networking. If it doesn't work
then you need to run something like:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
If this fails then you need to reconfigure the kernel to enable network
loopback (or something like that) in the network options section.
