Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some problems with the connection to my
localhost. Every thing was working fine before but since a
couple of days ago I can't connect to my localhost thru
my web browser: I get a "waiting for localhost...".
Does anybody know why is this happening.

Thanks,
Jay

I found what the problem was: My firewal[Zonealarm]was preventing me from accessing my localhost. I uninstalled it and now everything is working fine. I hope this helps those who may encounter the same problem

Pl remove firewall and mcafee antivirus.
