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.
