localhost is the equivalent of 127.0.0.1 which is the loopback address to 
your machine.

OR

localhost is a magic alias which refers to the machine you are currently 
working on.

To access you machnie remotely you either need to:
- know your machines ip address
- know your machines public dns address

Even then - a firewall (or a nat device) may prevent you from doing what you 
want. IN that case - search the archives looking for firewall or NAT.
