lo Link encap:Local Loopback

[Mathiau]

Why is my 2nd NIC showing this under ifconfig, it wont show under Elastix GUI

it is the same brand as the eth0, on a dell server...

lo is the loop back adapter

ethx are the ethernet adapters

the loop back adapter is a network interface on the local machine it always has an ip of 127.0.0.1 it doesn't go anywhere else but itself
