"localhost" not resolving from VS

Hi,

Having a problem with "localhost" resolving.

Works straight from browser (http://localhost/appname) but when running from Visual Studio 2005/2008 it doesn't (http://localhost:xxxx/appname).

I've switched of the Windows Firewall and Anti-virus software.  Not sure what else I can check that might be blocking DNS resolution (which I guess is the prob) on non standard ports.

Any ideas?
