Hello there,
This may not be much of an answer to your problem but anyway:
On windoze systems, when you don't get a reply from 127.0.0.1, you've got a problem with your tcp/ip stack network driver.
You should then try to reset it (on windoze you will have to do it with netsh and then reconfigure the nic) or/and reinstall the nic driver.
You may also try reinstalling packages like the ones you mentioned, since there are just so many dependencies, but keep your backups close and warm.
Cheers!
