kimo,

If you are using Internet Explorer, open an Internet Explorer window, open "Tools" menu and select "Internet options". Select now "Connections" in the displayed dialog and press "LAN settings". Check the "Bypass proxy for local addresses" option. Press OK twice and try browsing the local URL.

If this doesn't work, open again the option dialogs and enter "LAN settings" again. Press "Advanced" and enter "192.168.1.103" (or the actual IP of the server) in the "Exceptions" section. Press OK and retry to browsing the site. If you still have problems, please let us know and give us the exact error message displayed in Internet Explorer.

If the problem persists, or if you are using another browser and cannot find how to configure the proxies, please let us know.

Another method to check whether the problem is coming from the browser configuration or not, install another browser (Opera or Firefox). The second browser will not interfere with Internet Explorer and could be removed later without damaging your system. Once installed, try using it to access the local site.

i have tryed your instructions but cant open 'localhost'. i have installed firefox with the same result(where i tryed your instructions). IE says :
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

do you think there is a setting in my windows xp home i have to change or install som service(dont know what it is called in english->) where you have the fundamental settings: settings for LAN-connection.

kimo,

Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Does it work with the local IP address?
