Is your loopback interface configured? The start output of 'ifconfig lo' should look something like:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

The important bit is the "UP" keyword. If that's not the problem, please try: 'sudo netstat -lpn | grep 631' and post the output here.

Adding 'auto lo' to /etc/network/interfaces fixed the problem

also this fixed the brown screen of waiting problem where the system would hang after logging in with gdm for about five minutes.

Thanks
