WAMP not working on localhost without active network connection

Until recently I experienced strange problems with my WAMP server. It is not working when my machine is not connected to the internet. That was a piece of mystery for me. Actually the problem is still unknown for me although I fixed it :) My problem was that I had set the WAMP’s option – ‘Put online’. It took me reaaaally long time until I figure that this was causing the problems. It has to do something with the configurations in the httpd.conf but I am still unclear which setting it is enabling/disabling. Found a lot of threads on the internet about this so thought to share it.

Update: I feel stupid but actually the problem was just in FF. I am still a bit confused why changing the setting of WAMP has effect on the way FF is working …
