(noob question) suddenly, something's wrong with the network

Hello, yesterday I was installing some new software on a fresh Debian
6.0.5... OK, OK, I was storming through aptitude installing everything
looking cool =)
Today, the network stopped. Even 127.0.0.1 is unreachable. Probably
there is something misconfigured somewhere, but what? I did not remove
any package.

So, how do I find what's wrong with my network stack?

Did you previously have network manager installed?

If not, then when that got installed as some recommendation
of all the other stuff you installed, then things went bad ...

By following through one step at a time, first with ifconfig
and most importantly the contents of /etc/network/interfaces

And your question should have been posted to alt.os.linux.debian
