IIS does not work with localhost

[Flux Azreal]

So recently i had AT&T as my ISP, Then i changed to Xfinity Comcast cuz i moved to a new apartment. I port forwarded 80 (I used the preset HTTP since its the port i need)

And i can only view my website on other network but my own, what i mean by this is when i try to access my website locally it wont work (localhost, ip) though when a friend enters it (with their own network) it works for them, When i go into my localhost i get

 

And when i try to go through with my DNS it simply wont even load it times out

This sounds like an issue with NAT Loopback. It's a problem I experienced when getting a new Router from our ISP. I haven't dug too far into it to find what settings need to be changed but if it's fixable it's a setting within the router.

I said IF it's fixable it's a setting in the router.

 

It's worthwhile to me to see if this can be enabled again so I'll have a gander at it.

Ah, read it wrong the first time

As far as I am currently seeing it looks like it's a tunable feature on some routers but not others.

 

I'm wondering if configuring a Static Route would do anything but I can't say for sure.

 

At this time I'm not seeing any setting related to NAT Loopback within my own Router and Googling it isn't telling me that it goes under a different name.

 

For my own applications it's not detrimental but for yours perhaps it is. Let's ask someone who may know more than I do about this. @mynameisjuan

You could probably just go ahead and add an entry to your hosts file. 

You can edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add a line with the hostname, and then the local IP address of the server.
