So I think there's an issue with my hosts file in windows. I've added the following line:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.# 127.0.0.1 localhost#
myexternalipaddress mydyndns
This doesnt work. I've gotten rid of the extra spaces too. I have a dynamic ip I'm using for my external ip and I have a dns name connected to it. All needed ports are forwarded.
I've also just tried:
# (my external ip address) (my dns name)
and
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# (my external ip address) (my dns name)
I've also tried those two lines without the hashtag....are the hashtags needed?
Please help!
