Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. There may be something about your name resolver that works differently when not connected to a network.

one solution, is to use the browser in offline mode. but that is not a proper solution i think.do i change something in resolov.conf or hosts files.

A:
Check your /etc/hosts file to see if 127.0.0.1 has localhost as one of its values.

127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 vksTP # this is how the /etc/hosts looks for IPv4

are you using Mozilla Firefox ? Firefox goes to offline when he is not connected (or disconnected) to network. so check your browser if you are using FF and turn off offline .. then you can go to localhost.
