Dougal is correct.  Will Norris recently covered this issue:

	http://willnorris.com/2008/09/wordpress-mu-in-a-development-environment

The two second version: WPMU includes the hostname when setting a  
cookie (WP doesn't), which requires an embedded dot (part of the HTTP  
cookie spec) to work.  Meaning http://blogs.mycompany/ will work, but http://blogs/ 
  won't.
