If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Fresh Install - Simple Configuration

CASE A : NOT WORK

• node 6.11.0
• npm 5.1.0
• webpack 3.1.0
• webpack-dev-server 2.5.0 and 2.5.1
• using loopback interface at localhost / 127.0.0.1
• NO NETWORK CONNECTED !!

CASE B: WORK

• node 6.11.0
• npm 5.1.0
• webpack 3.1.0
• webpack-dev-server 2.5.0 and 2.5.1
• using loopback interface at localhost / 127.0.0.1
• WITH NETWORK CONNECTED !!

CASE C: WORK

• node 6.11.0
• npm 5.1.0
• webpack 3.1.0
• webpack-dev-server 2.4.5
• using loopback interface at localhost / 127.0.0.1

• Sometimes i work without network connection at all
• It work before 2.5.0

Please mention your webpack and Operating System version.

Is that the full stack trace?

@Plazmaz i updated my issues ..

[bneumann]

Same for me. I was trying to work offline and got the same error as @idnesdotlink. When I open my hotspot everything works again. Seems that webpack-dev-server requires to be online to work.

Workaround: Go online, start webpack-dev-server, go offline. It builds and refreshes just fine. Restarting the server however results in the error again

• when starting the webpack-dev-server when wifi on :

> webpack-dev-server --env.dev
Project is running at http://localhost:8080/

• when wifi is off:

> webpack-dev-server --env.dev

Have you tried building from source? There was a similar looking issue fixed in #958

[ai]

@Plazmaz I tested webpack’s master and #958 fixes this problem.

What blocks releasing #958?

[Plazmaz]

I don't know @ai, I tried PRing a version bump, but they refused to accept it from someone without collaborator access.

[ai]

@Plazmaz oops, I thought you were from core team :D.

@TheLarkInn What blocks releasing #958? Because of this issue, it is hard to write code in the most productive time — during airplane flight :D.

[roonyh]

npm upgrade webpack-dev-server fixed the issue for me.

Its fixed in 2.6.1

[ghost]

closing it with 2.6.1 update

[kimat]

This is still broken for me, when I try to start webpack-dev-server with wifi off :

"webpack": "^3.4.1",
"webpack-dev-server": "^2.6.1"
