That means there's nothing down in principal. On my system, apache has bound to any interface port 80, however perhaps you changed your apache conf to only make it bind to a specific interface? Use netstat -ap to find out. Or, you may have a firewall running which blocks access to or from localhost on some interface(s) (generally a done thing). Run SuSEfirewall stop to find out, or examine the denied packets log. (I assume you're running the "real" firewall, the "personal" one is only any good if you don't care about any incoming connectivity at all. When you're debugging this sort of thing, you also want to ditch netscape/mozilla/anything and use telnet localhost 80. Remember that a firewall block probably depends on where the packet came from, and when running telnet you don't have much control over the interface it's coming from (neither do you with netscape/etc).
