asked on Can no longer access localhost with IP.
Hi Experts,
I used to be able to access my localhost via http://localhost or http://mylocalip
Recently I changed my router with my Internet company, but made sure that I set my IP to Reserved, and when I do ipconfig, I use the correct IP address that I was using, but I cannot access my localhost anymore with my IP.
I am not sure if this happened with my router change, or something else, but I would appreciate any help.

what is the local host you are referring to? Is it a computer or router or what?
ASKER
localhost is a computer
Ok, so what are you attempting to access using http://localhost or http://mylocalip, do you have an IIS server running on the computer or anything? This will not show you anything unless you have some type of web service running.

Below is my hosts file, and I uncommented the last 2 lines, but still I cannot access http://192.168.2.200
http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 work.
The reason why I need http://192.168.2.200 is because I am a web developer and need to test from different devices. This used to work up until 2 weeks ago.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

I am not sure what you mean re DHCP, I am not a network person.
