Resolution
Confirm if the loopback is set correctly in the ifconfig output:
ifconfig
running shell command: ifconfig 2>/dev/null

If you find that under ifconfig in your system logs, there is no loop back interface, confirm if it is by design.
This means that the server is not listening at the loopback address. XDR will try to connect to the server using the loopback IP (127.0.0.1).
Have them check network scripts for your loop back interface. Normally the file name by default should be ifcfg-lo and check if there is a file there, and if there is a file there to see if it’s set to yes on ONBOOT.
