You can check this by either pinging localhost on your machine, or doing a nslookup on localhost.

To resolve this issue:

  1. Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
  1. Uncomment the line that reads ::1 localhost

Now Flush your DNS Resolver cache by running ipconfig /flushdns a couple of times and localhost should resolve fine.
