Maybe.

Change that first line into these two:

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback> 
127.0.0.1     localhost 

If you already have a line in your /etc/hosts file starting with 127, and it already contains "localhost" then just change your first line to my first line.

If that helps, great! Otherwise put it back the way it was.
