Most likely this is due to your local network being behind a web proxy
server that strips out the HTTP Referrer header field. The next version of
the Validator should have a more meaningfull error message when this
appears to be the case.
However, if your page is not available to the general Internet the
Validator will not be able to validate it unless you a) manually upload the
file or b) install a local instance of the Validator (which is
unfortunately not very easy at the moment).
