Assuming you are using Windows XP, add the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
to the file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts

I looked at my hosts file and found that information. But then I recognized,
I put off the network cable. My NIC had no IP-Adress. When I connected it
again, everything was working. But why dose the NIC loose the IP-Adress wenn
the cable ist put off. I thougt I could learn PHP unconnected.

This is a Microsoft "improvement" that happens to violate the TCP/IP protocol.
It is formally called "media sense", and it can be disabled by a registry entry.

This has been covered many times here and in other news groups, so search for
the fix. It is easy to find.
