Apologies if this has been suggested before, but does the name
'localhost' exist in your /etc/hosts file and does it translate to
127.0.0.1?

Try going to http://127.0.0.1:631/ and see if that makes a difference.

Also in a terminal window, to check for 'localhost', type the command:

	host localhost

and see what it reports.

Regards,
Tony.
