Hi people,

I've got a dev server with xampp on Windows 7. When trying to access localhost or 127.0.0.1 I get a "Socket Error connection refused by remote host", network.proxy.no_proxies_on has both of them declared, thing is I'm connected to the company's domain so I'm guessing I've gotta set localhost somewhere else, but where? IE works fine BTW.
