Very Computer

Hello there,

I am unable to ping the host machine name or by IP address from the host
itself.
All the network config seems to check out correctly.  I can ping & telnet
the machine from the network.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Owen.

Here's some network info:
