Somes times windows dont' know who localhost is.
Try this:
go to a command window, and "ping localhost" if you get host unknown
or some other error other than 4 ping responses then you should
edit your hosts file to include a line like
localhost 127.0.0.1
ALSO: If you put a port number in there IE requires a protocol.
so you can do
localhost/blah/blah
but if you do localhost:8080/blah/blah you need
http://localhost:8080/blah/blah
