Ok, well... if you shut off your network AFTERWARDS, does it block your connection attempts too? Does /etc/hosts have "localhost" in there?
When I shutdown the connection it doesn't work, the loop interface stays the same all the way.
lo when connected: ---snip--- % ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2167 (2.1 Kb) TX bytes:2167 (2.1 Kb) ---snip---

When I try to run ncmpcpp, when I'm disconnected: ---snip--- % ncmpcpp Cannot connect to mpd: host "localhost" not found: Temporary failure in name resolution % ncmpcpp Cannot connect to mpd: host "127.0.0.1" not found: Address family for hostname not supported ---snip---
It is just weird.
Agreed... how about running "route -nv" before and after lo is borked?
