    After installing SuSE 9, the network has been setup as before. On a command
    prompt, pinging localhost responds correctly showing an IP address of
    127.0.0.1. However, in Konqueror or Firebird browser, typing in an address
    of "localhost" results in no response from the browser. In fact, trying to
    start apache also results in a failed message.

    If after the failed message on starting apache, the firewall is restarted
    apache will run normally.

    If the firewall is stopped, the localhost address works in either browser.
    For example "localhost:901" starts swat. With the firewall running the
    address "127.0.0.1:901" will correctly start swat but "localhost:901" leads
    nowhere.

    Can anyone shed any light on how to correct this problem?

    Thanks.
