    Make sure your Kismet configuration is set to use the right port. Also, instead of 'localhost', try using '127.0.0.1'. Hope this helps. Oh, and you could try restarting the kismet server manually, or just dumping everything and reconfiguring from scratch (not the best choice, but for people with time on their hands...)
