I'm using OS X.1. I've turned web Sharing on, and can access my apache server using http://127.0.0.1, but when I attempt to access it at http://localhost, Explorerer gives me a "connection failure" error. I am connected to the Internet via a modem at the time, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it. so, any clues?

I've had this happen infrequently as well, but nothing that I could pin my fingers on. Do you have any other browsers on your machine? I've found that when IE chokes, I can normally use iCab or others to open localhost with no difficulties.
