visual studio 2008 localhost URL

Question

everytime I try debug my website I press the F5 key. It will always start with this address

http://localhost:xxxxx/Default.aspx

but the website wont run unless I change the localhost to 127.0.0.1. How do I allow it to run even though it is localhost without having to specify the URL in my project properties?

Add localhost 127.0.0.1 to your hosts file ref http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-hosts-file/
