hey guys, this happens quite often too me. when i boot my serevr up, i can access my site no problems at all. after a few hours i can no longer access it. im just woundering if its a loopback issue? surely if my router doesnt support loopback i could never access my site??

this problem is only at my end, other people can view my site no problem.


just to note. i can see my site via localhost. its just at the dns end

If you can normally access your site using your DNS name or internet IP (not 127.0.0.1) then it isn't a loopback issue.

Is your IP static or dynamic?

Have you tried connecting with your internet IP instead of DNS name when you are having issues?

Sounds like you have a DNS caching issue - your machine is remembering how the DNS name resolved before your IP changed. I could be wrong, but next time you have issues, check if your IP has changed. If it has, open a cmd prompt and do "nslookup yoursitename.no-ip.com" - check if the result resolves to your IP. If it does, do "ipconfig /flushdns" then close all open browser windows, re-open and try to access your site by DNS name again.
