Unable to access localhost via browser

Hi

On some machines I am unable to access a web server on localhost via my
browser.

I can access pages fine using 127.0.0.1.

Is there any way around this other than editing the hosts file or disabling
IPv6?

What is the cause of this problem?

Why is it a problem on some machines and not others? Is it caused/fixed by
a service pack or update.

Thanks for your replies.
