(k)ubuntu 8.04

when offline:

firefox :This document cannot be displayed while offline. To go
online, untick Work Offline from the File menu.

konq: An error occurred while loading http://localhost:8085:
Could not connect to host http://localhost:8085/.

when online:

perfect

when again offline:

problems again.

When both online & offline:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping kmotion
ping: unknown host kmotion
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Because I am accessing it as localhost I was assuming DNS was not
involved, or at most just the /etc/hosts file which contains
127.0.0.1       localhost

Its all very bizzare ...

cheers
