[ale] Diald, Networks, and Emacs

[charlie]

hello,

 I'm currently trying to get diald working, but it seems that during the
process I've setup my box incorrectly.  It was at one point setup on the
network, and I don't think I've removed all the pieces of network info
out of the configuration files.  Well emacs and X windows now hangs when
I try to use them.  Has anyone had this problem before?  I can't even 
^Z or ^C them.  I basically just become root and whack em.  What files do
I need to alter in order to setup the loop back 127.0.0.1 correctly.

thanks
charlie
