Localhost does not work with django web server but works with Tomcat

[CG]

Using dango 1.0.2 final on windows vista.
I have tried starting up tomcat and using http://localhost:8000 and it
shows the tomcat default page which means localhost is being resolved
correctly on the machine.
Any ideas why I am not able to use http://localhost:8000 with django?
I started the webserver plainly with "python manage.py runserver" and
I am able to bring up the django page with the url http://127.0.0.1:8000

Thanks

See my response in this other thread:

If it's an IPv6 thing than maybe tomcat works because it listens on an IPv6 address?

Karen,
Apologize for the late reply. Thanks for the excellent catch, it was
indeed an IPv6 issue. I just had to update my hosts file on windows
vista to include an entry for 127.0.0.1 and it worked!

Thanks again
CG
