Can you ping your localhost i.e., 127.0.0.1? Use the following command in an elevated command prompt:
The contents you posted from your hosts file should not have line breaks without "#" in the beginning for commenting a line out.
Remove/del all the contents of the hosts file & copy+paste:
Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
180.64.186.10 hdcorea.goanygate.com
