Description:
------------
I connect to a localy installed database trough the servername "localhost" which resolves to 127.0.0.1 which I can ping. Now if I pull my network cable, php loses the ability to connect to the database, no login attempts is registred by the sql server and php thinks the server does not exist. I can even change the servername value of mssql_connect to "127.0.0.1" but it still won't connect. Other applications can connect just fine to the sql server while not having any network interfaces up but not php, I think I saw the same problem with PHP 5 snapshot about a week old.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$server = "localhost";
$conn = mssql_connect($server, $_SESSION['login'], $_SESSION['passwd']);

Expected result:
----------------
mssql_connect to work

Actual result:
--------------
[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning:  mssql_connect() [<a href='function.mssql-connect'>function.mssql-connect</a>]: Unable to connect to server:  localhost in C:\Program\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\index.php on line 31, referer: http://localhost/
