Although the lo interface is up, localhost is broken in 2.6.35-rc3. External networking works OK which is why I hadn't noticed. It looks like some other unrelated bug in 2.6.35 is at work. Quite why it doesn't strike my Pentium machine I can't say. The netbook takes its network address from DHCP (my Pentium does not) but that shouldn't make any difference to localhost. I shall do a bit more looking around later today or tomorrow.
