ok so i bought a domain name. I use XAMPP and have PHP installed.... And localhost works perfectly

 

but my domain name is not working. I know i bought it and regristered right, because when i put it in my browser, in the bottom left corner it says "connecting to" and then my ip-address

 

but it says:

 

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

 

    *  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

          moments.

 

    *  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

          connection.

 

    *  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

 

 

Whats wrong? I did this several times, too.

Are you trying to access your domain from within your own network? This usually won't work. If so, you'll need to add an entry to your hosts file. In Linux its /etc/hosts, I'm not sure where it is on windows but just search for a file called hosts then add...

 

127.0.0.1    yourdomain.com

sorry if i sounds really stupid... i'm really new at this.....

 

This is on my computer... windows vista...

 

From google, it said  "A router is a computer whose software and hardware are usually tailored to the tasks of routing and forwarding"

 

I have a linksys home wireless router... is that could be used...

i remember what interface you are talking about... but i can't remember the ip address of it, and those two you gave aren't working.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
