[Intuition]

I am attempting to make a Houdini 5.5 tutorial today. I noticed the lic server isn't working. The main issue though is it says it can't connect to localhost which is weird. 
So I launched Firefox and though I can connect to the internet I noticed my homepage, which used to work, now no longer connects to localhost either.

if I use http://localhost/ in firefox it fails to connect. 
I need this to work so that the Houdini lic can work. 

Does anyone know what may be the culprit?

I forgot the command to see what daemons are on or off. Anyone have that info?
