Curl issue

[acummins]

Hi all

Prior to the installation, I removed the semicolons from the lines in both php.ini files as said. When installing zc locally, I receive the following error messages. However, if I try to install it when connected to the net, I get non of those messages. Everything goes smoothly.

* CURL problems detected: 7 => couldn't connect to host more info...

Can anyone tell me if this is an issue and if so how to tackle it?

By the way I am using Goh Koon Hoek's book.
Many thanks
