Problems deploying GWT projects

For days now, I've been doing a lot of googling of the problem that I have. This is somewhat very basic but I am unable to resolve it. Somehow, when I deploy a starter project, my browser displays a network error message. I am using Chrome as my browser and GWT 2.5. It's like trying to connect to the internet. I've been developing locally, without internet connection. Is internet really required when deploying GWT projects locally?
