cURL times out trying to connect to its own server

I have the need to use cURL to request content from my own website.  I've been using the same function on several sites on my own server but recently needed to set up my code on a client's Windows machine (running apache and php w/ cURL enabled).  Something about the new host's configuration causes all my cURL requests to timeout when calling URL's on the same site as the code initiating the request.

 

if I set the url to yahoo.com or bing.com it works but if I set it to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] or my domain name it times out.

 

any thoughts?

so when setting the URL, I found that (at least on this window's machine) I can use "http://localhost" and it works just fine.  Go figure.
