Look at man ping (use ping -c [n] [www.someplace.org] - where is the
number of pings). Ctrl-C should also stop it.

In lynx.cfg

STARTFILE:file//localhost/var/www/index.html

        will open the file /var/www/index.html
        
The "localhost" should preceed the rest of the regular file path. You'd
think the "file:" part would be enough. Of course, make sure the file
you're pathing to really exists.
