BrowserXL Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 probably a personal firewall issue. The TCP/IP stack handles requests to localhost differently then IP addresses. So depending on your PFW you can access localhost, but not the IP. To make it run via the IP you have to make the proper exception to forward traffic trhough your PFW on the necessary ports. edde0303 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
