I have experienced something similar running PHP with Apache on WinME; if I
dial up then disconnect, then request a page on localhost, it tries to
connect. Because I have the dialler set to prompt every time, it brings up
the dialler, I click 'cancel'... and it gets me the page.
I'm really not sure what I need to change; somehow I need to tell it that
localhost doesn't require a connection. For now, it's a minor nuisance, so
I just ignore it. But if anyone has a more permanent solution, I'd be glad
to hear it.
As one other person has noted, calling the page as http://127.0.0.1/page.php
works without doing this; I have localhost set in my Apache config, but it
seems to want to ask the DNS anyway??
