now it looks like we might be on to something.
# ip -s link show lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

but wait look at this - no addresses are mentioned here?
# ip -s addr show lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
is there something i have misconfigured somewhere else? on the Loopback perhaps?
