thanks that worked, I seen that in the Doc But for some reason it did not work, I had the line in the rc.inet1 (/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo) commeted out and I put it back the way it should be, and when I did the line you said to do it works like a charm now.
Thanks very much Russell
