This is usenet and you are talking to a bunch of freaking programmers
who tend to take things literally and answer only the specific
question asked.

Yes, localhost never works across the network.
Yes, your server can work across the network.

When your server works across the internet it's never accessed as
"localhost" though. "localhost" is a convention that always means
"this machine" so any user asking for localhost will get *his*
localhost, not yours. For your server to be accessed from other than
your machine, the user's browser needs to know its ip-address, which
can be looked up in his local directory (DNS, name-server). Or he can
access it by using a fixed ip-address but it won't be 127.0.0.1

localhost is a convention, a nickname for "this machine". Everybody
pretty much has one and they're all different.
