I can access my local dev site on my local pc, eg:
http://mysite
But I cannot access the live site, even though it works fine on other pc's:
http://www.mysite.com
The live site gives the error in Firefox: Server Not Found.
Pinging www.mysite.com
gives the error:"Ping request could not find host www.mysite.com
"
hosts file:
127.0.0.1 mysite
I changed the hosts file to the following and rebooted:
127.0.0.1 mysitedev
I'm running on XP, and have cleared the DNS cache using:
ipconfig /flushdns
I have verified the live site is up using:
http://www.isup.me/
and the site loads fine using my phone.
What could be preventing my local pc from accessing the live site?
