[ltp] Apache Error: Cannot find localhost in Offline Mode

[Jeffrey Franc-Law]

Encountered a very embarrassing problem at a business meeting today.  I
was there to show-off my web based simulation software but.....

Using Suse 10.2/apache/mysql/php.  Machine is X60. I use either
localhost or 127.0.0.1 to access the local apache server.  Today, if
found that if i am NOT connected to the internet, then I am unable to
reach localhost or 127.0.0.1 via web browser. If i connect to the
internet it works, if I disconnect it stops working.  Firefox and
Konquerer just state "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't
browse the Web."

I am able to ping localhost or 127.0.0.1 either offline or online.

I assume I have some problem with apache configuration.  Google search
revealed nothing helpful.

Any thoughts?

ciao,
jfl
