My guess is that either your hosts file isn't pointing to the loopback
address or you have a firewall issue. See the following website for
one solution to the hosts issue: http://bytes.com/forum/thread645776.html

As for the firewall, you'll have to check Windows Firewall and / or
your own firewall, if you use ZoneAlarm or Norton 360 or some such.
