in reply to setting up a localhost

You should be able to find a "hosts" file in the Windows directory (or whatever its name is on your flavour of Windows), without any file extension. It's a pure text file, the Windows equivalent of the /etc/hosts file on Unix. In it, you can define any name you want for your local systems, even morethan one, there's no need to set up a DNS system. The file should exist, and it should contain some sample entries, perhaps commented out, giving you a good idea what the systax to use is. And one of these entries should be for "localhost"...
