Sounds like it may be a name resolution problem. Here's my experience:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.5 potato.ourmanpann.com potato
192.168.1.1 firewall.ourmanpann.com firewall
192.168.1.2 rescue.ourmanpann.com rescue
192.168.1.3 win95.ourmanpann.com win95
192.168.1.4 openbsd.ourmanpann.com openbsd
And I'm not running bind on this box, FWIW.
Luck,
Pann
