"could not connect to host - localhost"

[Orenstein, Dave]

I ran into a similar problem.  I was trying to use SWAT.  I connect
to the Internet through a proxy server and forgot to include localhost
in my "bypass proxy" settings for Konqueror.  DNS can't resolve the
localhost.  Adding your local network info to your "bypass proxy" 
settings for Konqueror may do the trick.
