My problem is this. I run a web server on my computer. This computer is connected to a router. The address for my web server is www.willsphotos.co.uk however if I try to go to this address I get the router configuration page (obviously this all works fine from external connections). I thought I would be able to configure an entry in the LMHosts file to make requests for www.willsphotos.co.uk to loopback to 127.0.0.1 by simply entering 127.0.0.1 www.willsphotos.co.uk Sadly this doesn't work. Now if I change it to be 127.0.0.1 willsphotos then is I ping willsphotos it pings 127.0.0.1 hoever that does not happen with www.willsphotos.co.uk. Can oyu not put a domain name in the LMHosts file? Anyone have the answer?
