Is there really a period at the end?

What happens when you ping localhost from a command line?

Did you check the SQL Server Client Network Utility, to see if perhaps you
have a different alias for localhost?

Maybe you have certain things disabled on XP by default (e.g. I remember
something a whileback about a loopback connector causing problems for
accessing http://localhost/ in certain network configurations.)

Anyway, when I throw a baseball with my right hand, it goes pretty far.
When I use my left hand, it doesn't go quite so far, and people laugh at me.
In other words, USE WHAT WORKS!
