I presume DynDNS were a little slow in updating their DNS records for the domain as the site works with and without 'www.' for me.

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

I its very simple, if you run a server on the net from your PC. It cannot be connected to by you. LOOPBACK is not allowed. You can use a proxy or get a m8 to look and itl be fine but you CANNOT access your own ip from your own IP. THINK its like mailing yourself a letter, whats the point...I use a proxy... I know because i have a webserverand a multimedia server. Some DYDNS can almost manage this for you though... They manage to not go through the net and just route you internaly to your IIS or whatever... Hope this helps... :angel:

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

Loopback is a feature of the modem/router. Just because you host it yourself it doesn't mean you can't access it. I know this because I run websites and I can access them fine because my router supports loopback.

There is a workaround for this though. Just edit your hosts file and put in your domain to point to localhost :) Not great but it works.
