Ah...i forgot that you might not have this configured

go to C:\{windows directory}\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the
"hosts" file with no extension.

Check this, if it doesn't exist, create it, and if it does exist,
check for and/or add the following line.

127.0.0.1 localhost

that should help...
