Check your HOSTS file. Default location on XP is
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Make sure you have a line that says this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
The same is useful when you want to set up a local dev version of a site
you're working on, e.g.
127.0.0.1 mysite.com
Would make mysite.com (but not www.) point to 127.0.0.1.
HTH.
