You really need to add localhost to that line. Lots of things "know" that
localhost refers to the local machine.
That will get you past the connect problem.
To add some background to this, /etc/hosts is usually the first place that the
name resolver looks to turn names into ip addresses. Usually the next step is
to look for "nameserver" entries in /etc/resolv.conf. The request is passed
along to those addresses.
This process is all controlled by /etc/host.conf. Mine has this in it (which
is standard):
order hosts,bind
which says "check the /etc/hosts file, then the real nameservers if that
doesn't work.
