#15 Localhost/Internal Network Issues
My localhost connection is loading very slow not sure what happened, it went from working to not working and I swear I didn't change anything. Obviously I probably did but I'm not sure what happened. I even attempted to reinstall everything but to no avail. My host file only has this line uncommented "127.0.0.1 localhost" but I've tried to uncomment the "::1 localhost" as well but that doesn't help either. I don't have Skype installed I double checked, I'm using teamviewer but it appears to be using another port, I can't see anything tying up port 80 (or as TCPView states, the http port) besides this program we're using here "httpd.exe". The crazy thing is it doensn't just load slow, it refuses to load my style page on the localhost on an html page, if I try to navigate to a php page from the localhost it give me "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET". Everything OUTSIDE of my home network works flawlessly and everyone can view my site. Pretty confused been working on this for 2 days now so I think it's time for some help I really like this program I would like it to work :)
Armed to the teeth with all these troubleshooting steps, can anyone point me in the right direction yet? Three days ago I had access on ALL my computers on my internal network now I have zero access on my other computers and horrible access on the actual server itself. Sounds like an access problem but I'm lost.
This is my shared folder of my entire Wamp Server folder maybe someone can check out my files to see how I can fix this, development is so difficult when you can't load the page to test :)

Wow, I can't believe I spent two whole days on this when I could have had this fixed with a SIMPLE test holly cow. For anyone who has made it this far through my troubleshooting don't forget to test by turning on the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). After I set the server IP in the DMZ input box and pressed apply EVERYTHING started working again. I can't believe it was something so little... I knew it had to be but holly cow, this drove me crazy :) I don't know how it managed to accomplish what it did all by itself but I guess I gotta go forward something that's already forwarded? Lol, at least I know where to work now. Case Closed XD
If anyone else is having issues they can't describe and you think you are forwarding the port correctly, if you have access after applying DMZ to the server try to remove the port forward configuration and add it again. I guess routers can mess up port forwarding, weird, who woulda guessed.
