Yes..  i did the same..  later i edited etc/hosts file to map the ip to some
internet like address and tried installing it.  it works fine.

localhost doesnt work, and that's understandable.

eg:

http://senthil/   --> can install and view home page.  But could not login.

http://senthil.domain.com --> can do everything.. including admin login.

the problem i traced is that in wp-login.php, the cookie could NOT be set,
if installed in intranet url.

one possible reason is that the cookie will not be set, if there is already
a header output in the buffer.
