Do you have a third-party firewall going? The Mandrake and Bastille
firewalls should be okay, but others may block the page (which loads
off your own system (localhost).
Try replacing "localhost" in the URL to your actual hostname. You can
type "hostname" at a terminal to find out what it is. Use Netscape as
your browser, just to make sure. I get "Connection refused" whenever I
try to use Konqueror, but Netscape and Opera deal with it well.
If this still doesn't work, then perhaps you don't have a loopback
interface installed. Try typing
/sbin/ifconfig lo
at a terminal. If you get nothing then you need to configure a
loopback device.
