- cant connect to Localhost
- Posted by Old Grizzly on November 25th, 2007
Hi
3 machines networked from linksys router, all 3 have Zone Alarm and XP
Pro. 2 machines will not connect to localhost/127.0.0.1.
I have turned off ZA on one of those machines that still wont connect
but still the same so it cant be ZA but what else could it be? They all
share the router and one connects so its not the router but what ?
.....my brain hurts LOL
BTW its a Linksys WRT54G router

Hi
May be you want to explain the functional thing that you are trying to do.
Each computer probably has the Localhost resolution in its Host file, and it
resolved to it self not across the Network.

trying to do?

Hi
Look at the Host file in each computer and find the status of the localhost
entry.

described and both those file equate localhost to 127.0.0.1
