localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
Out of range for me too, but I know what the foregoing line means.

Cheers for the attempt but it didnt do anything for me
Im stuck now, i read that article TheSchaft posted in this thread but it looks like a load of gibberish me to... Why was it so easy in Windows XP ?

Please run these two commands (on a CMD prompt) and paste back the results:
PING LOCALHOST
NETSTAT -NA |FIND "LISTENING"
The word LISTENING is case-sensitive so you have to issue that part of the command in capital letters. It doesn't matter for the rest - I'm just using all caps for illustrative purposes.
It's likely that your problem has nothing to do with localhost name resolution and everything to do with the fact that the HTTPD (the web server process) is not listening. If that guess is right, the ping will return successfully but the netstat output won't show the HTTPD listening on TCP port 80.

Hi mate, thanks for your reply.
I think you migh tbe right because i cant see HTTPD in that list. unless i should be looking for 127.0.0.1:80 in that list ? Either way, i dont think its there. Any idea's how to sort it out ?

Is Apache running?
Hi Dave,
I had the same problem a few days ago.
Install the WAMP packages or XAMPP or something else.
in the host file, replacebyCode:# 127.0.0.1 localhostthe localhost should work.Code:127.0.0.1 localhost
To write the host file, right-click the host file, choose property, go to security and change the users permissions to TOTAL CONTROL (or something like, i am sorry but i'm actualy using french windows so i don't really know the labels).
You can change and save the file.
