localhost lost!?

[mintlars]

I have an utterly annoying problem. When I open ksysguard it says that the connection to localhost was lost (over and over again). Recently I've been setting up a home network with samba and also tried zeroconf and so on, and this was when this started happening. Any ideas?

Post the contents of /etc/hosts, that might give us a clue.

Right. Here it is.

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 hiroshima

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Note that hiroshima is my computername

Hmmm... that seems in order there. What is the ip of the machine? I think zeroconf can mess with your IP. I don't use it, but I had accidentally installed it once on a server and it would randomly end up with a 169.254.x.x IP, which didn't work on my network.
