I can't get access to localhost when my iBook is not connected to the internet.
Is there something I should set up in my Network settings to permit me to gain access?
 
localhost or 127.0.0.1 are both valid loopback references. If you are having a problem with name resolution, the IP address should always work.
 
I know to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 or ///
These work fine when I am connected to the internet.
It is only when I am not connected that I get the error messages.
I should be able to access my localhost all the time for development of dynamic pages with Dreamweaver MX, shouldn't I?
 
Yes. Did you change your lookup order or do anything nonstandard in your configuration that may be trumping your lookup for loopbacks?
 
I finally found the solution. So simple really, but elusive.
I changed my "away from home" network settings to:
Configure: "Using DHCP with manual IP address"
IP Address: "127.0.0.1"

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts.
