One more way to get access to your localhost server:

1. tools > conntrol panel > connectivity "connections" button
2 "New" button, "Next button" type in Connection name you desire like "Dummy", option button WLAN, "Next" button.
3. Scan networks "No" button
4. SSID "Dummy", Network mode "Ad hoc", "Next" button, "Advancced" button
5. Checkbox check on Use Proxy, HttP proxy input 127.0.0.1, "OK" button, "Finish" button, "Done" button, "OK" button.

You all set. Now if you want to access your localhost, all you need to do is choose "Dummy" connection from your connections list.

Hope this helps,

Cheers :-)
