Assuming you are using Windows XP, add the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
to the file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts

I looked at my hosts file and found that information. But then I recognized,
I put off the network cable. My NIC had no IP-Adress. When I connected it
again, everything was working. But why dose the NIC loose the IP-Adress wenn
the cable ist put off. I thougt I could learn php unconnected.

This is a Microsoft "improvement" that happens to violate the TCP/IP protocol.
It is formally called "media sense", and it can be disabled by a registry entry.

This has been covered many times here and in other news groups, so search for
the fix. It is easy to find.

About the same problem. Installed Apache carefully, but no answer at
http://localhost nor http://127.0.0.1. And I'm using windows ME.
Earlier I used phpdev, but after moving to broadband this only worked
after setting of the modem.
Thanks for any help,
Jan
