Come to think of it, maybee localhost is blocked by iptables by default? >> Searching>>Ops, that seems to be the case.
Your problem may simply be that you can't make the connection to localhost as IPtables blocks it.
The following lines executed with sudo in a terminal "opens" localhost and your problem is hopefully solved.
iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.0/8 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -s 127.0.0.0/8 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -o lo -j ACCEPT
There is a wiki on iptables http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables
and don't mess around with iptables - it's really tricky
