One possibility is that your system does not define "localhost" - search for a file named "hosts" - it should have an entry that looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
--------
It is also possible that Tomcat did not really start - are you executing the start batch file from a command window? Does another window flash open and close again?
In win98 there is a problem with environment space that causes Tomcat to crash if you have not modified the default memory allowance for environment variables.
