This is Vista Home Premium.

  Re: "Localhost" vs IP in URL - Problem with IP Reply Contact The error message is:  Internet Explorer cannot display the page.  FireFox says that the "connection was reset".  This is a problem only when I attempt to access using the external IP.  It is not an issue with 'localhost' or with the local IP (192.168.1.4).  I opened port 80 on my NetGear router and I allowed port 80 through Windows Firewall.
