no localhost but 127.0.0.1:8080 works

Hi Group,
I have a problem here, my setup no longer responds to
http://localhost:8080/blahblah.....It works if I use the IP addy, 127.0.0.1:8080, but I think this is causing
some problems within tomcat with its own internal references.
Does anyone know how I can fix this. I vaguely recall reading about a
"hosts" file in System32 folder of windows but cant remember for the life
of me what it was talking about.
Thanks
JS

Under Windows NT, the file was found in

   \WINNT\System32\drivers\etc

Under Windows XP, it is found in

   \WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc

I know it is located differently on Windows 95/98 type systems.
