More information on my routing problem.

Shouldn't I be able to simply say: 'route add -net 127.0.0.0' assuming my
interface is configured?  Typing this route command gives me:

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

and I can't figure out why.  What would cause it to be unreachable in the
first place?  How did my loopback device get unconfigured in the first
place?

Again, my ifconfig output is as follows:
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3584  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

Thanks,
Dave
