Localhost problemi didn't find any information why \\localhost doesn't work on Windows XP (when i ping localhost everything looks fine IP 127.0.0.1 is returned and all 4 pings are ok). I have checked all my IP settings, DNS, WINS, hosts file, etc. All what i can check seems to be ok. I have installed new Windows XP SP2 (without any KB - i was thinking that it should be a KB problem) but it's also not working. I have checked \\localhost on Windows Server 2003 SP1 and ... voila works fine. I do some investigation and check information in technet, microsoft site and google ... found nothing about that (or i have missed something). Could someone tell me why \\localhost doesn't work on Windows XP SP2 (and i have forgotten, Windows firewall was turned off on all my test machines). When i put \\127.0.0.1 in explorer (or \\computer-netbios-name) then local shares are displayed, but \\localhost doesn't work - strange ... The error is (Windows cannot find "\\localhost". Check the spelling and try again, or try searching for the item by clicking the Start button and then clicking Search) . Does anyone know why it's not working on Windows XP SP2 ? Thanks, Dariusz Hoszowski

yes - there is only one hosts file. There is localhost 127.0.0.1 in it. It is the only symptom i can observe (and it is not only in my network but it seems to be also at my collegues networks). Everything besides \\localhost works fine.

Using \\localhost in an explorer window is using NetBios (or NetBT) protocol. NetBT does not use the "hosts" file, rather it uses the "lmhosts" file. Most XP machines have a "lmhosts.sam" (sample) file that can be used by renaming to remove the .sam extension. Then you can add a line at the end similar to the line in the hosts file.

that's right what you're saying but ... i have in lmohosts (not lnhosts.sam) an entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost and it's not working.

Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition .

are Pentium or Xeon servers) but there it's going on all Windows Server 2003 machines. I don't think it could be processor dependent but ... who nows. Thanks for the information Martin, i will check it on my Athlon at home and let you know if it's also true at my Athlon. If not - then i will ask you to send me your patch lists. It's a very strange behaviour ... It could be better if Microsoft put it in order in new Windows Vista and Longhorn Server.

The folder on the local computer opens the start iis page. On the networked computer http://computer_name/filename works. Where the computer_name is the name of the Athlon.
