 Can you "telnet localhost 80"?  If it can't find an IP address, it
 might be a DNS problem.
 Can you "telnet 127.0.0.1 80"?  If this works but the above doesn't,
 it's probably a DNS problem.  If you get "connection refused", is
 Apache really running?
 
 Have you been doing something recently with the "hosts" file?
