Thanks. Unfortunately, that doesn't do the trick. The hosts file asks for
an ip to be matched to a loopback name, whereas my IP is dynamic, and thus
I would have to edit the file each time that my IP changed. I do currently
have 127.0.0.1 localhost in the host file.

A big part of my confusion is knowing why Moz deals with it no problem,
whereas IE doesn't. I have figured out, however that I can use my current
IP in a url and that works. I would be nice to "get back to normal" as it were.

Thanks though!
