XAMPP/Wordpress is using a different IP address after new modem - wordpress

So my ip address has changed so I can no longer access my WP Admin from my pc. It's redirecting to a different device/ip on my wifi so, therefore, cannot access it on my PC anymore. Can I edit/reset the Wordpress settings from ftp or PHPMyAdmin? So it points to localhost instead of a different device ip?

I also had a problem with my windows ten (my other Samsung Computer)
So I searched this up.
https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/xampp-not-working/
This actually contains 3 common solutions to the problems that we both have had and are having.
Resolve Apache Port Conflicts (This actually fixed my problem)
Include the Listening Port in the Address When Accessing Localhost
Change Your MySQL Port (Although I think this is the least helpful one)

Pls Help I would like to see my self hosted site live on the internet Using Wamp64

I would appreciate assistance and advice about Wamp64 and how to make my self-hosted site live on the web. So far achieved only local access PC and phone on the same network. I have purchased my domain name, tried a few millions of free software for port forwarding mapping and routing and unfortunately those are stuff I am not familiar with. I am using HUAWEI portable router(It's a dongle actually) and already played with the available limited options there upnp virtual server and not many more...Thanks in advance This server is killing me
I believe I have tried everything - my virtual host is created with my domain name, configuration file and vhost file all set up to allow all granted, I have added hosts in the hosts file, allowed ports and servers through my firewall, installed a few softwares for port forwarding (didn't support my dongle HUAWEI E8F4),
even allowed the unsecured upnp also have A,AAAA,CNAME, and 2 nameservers from ... gosh forgot the name.. it will come back eventually... tried software for static ip address used ipv4 and ipv6 installments, as I said I am not familiar yet with networking, and yes it came back Cloudflare keeps telling me that there is a host error 552 every time I attempt to reach it from outside of my local network.

Server works and I can connect locally, but friends cannot connect externally

I have followed the guide https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installation to the letter and everything is working great, but friends cannot connect through my external IP though and I'm out of ideas.
I have:
No firewall or AV in the way
Forwarded ports 8085 and 3724
Added my computer to the router's DMZ (Nuclear option when forwarding didn't seem to work)
Changed the address field in the DB realmlist table to my external IP
authserver and worldserver running and allowing local connections
An extra note is https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says the ports are not open while I have the servers running as if they aren't listening on them.
I just learned that my modem from CenturyLink is also acting as ANOTHER router so fun stuff. Making it a transparent bridge is just a bag of cats I'm not gonna open so I guess I get to play WoW with myself for now.
I probably don't have the solution for u but thought id share some thoughts
People can connect to my server but that website u linked at the end does also say that the ports are closed for me as well so I'm not sure how trustworthy it is
When I first made my server the DB realmlist change was the fix that worked for me but since u already seem to have done that I'm afraid Ive no idea
With that said. In Heidisql at least there were 2 places in realmlist u had to change the IP, in the Table:Realmlist and Data tabs

How to determine source of mysterious server name on my network

Over the last few days I have noticed a mysterious (unknown to me) server hostname that shows up on both Ubuntu's Nautilus Network section as well as Windows File Manager network group. The hostname does not show in the list of clients on my router. If I double click the hostname icon to try to connect to it I get a connection refused error. The hostname's appearance is random.
I have non-factory admin and wireless passwords set on my router as well as MAC filtering. Router firewall is on and no unneeded service ports are opened (NFS, etc.).
How can I determine the source of this unknown hostname and how can I close down my network in case this is really someone that has managed to break into my network? Also, if I have explicitly listed the MAC addresses of all my devices how could a non-listed device be able to connect?
Thank you for any comments you can provide.
Resolved; see previous comment on NetBios over TCP/IP.

HttpListener working on local network, but not externally

I am attempting to spin up an application that listens on a port and responds to HTTP requests. I am on a Windows 8 machine connecting through a Netgear router that provides port forwarding. I have:
modified my DNS zone file of one of my domains to point to the IP address that is assigned to my cable modem
Added a port-forwarding rule to my router that sends requests to port 8080 to port 8081 on my computer
Opened port 8081 on my Windows Firewall
Executed netsh http add urlact http://+:8081/ user=Everyone listen=yes as administrator
Started up my app which uses the simple webserver solution found at http://codehosting.net/blog/BlogEngine/post/Simple-C-Web-Server.aspx which uses an HttpListener object with a prefix of http://+:8081/.
From any machine on my local network, I can browse to http://home.example.com:8080/blah/blah and everything works great. Whenever I attempt the same URL from a machine connected elsewhere on the Internet, the connection times out. I have tried using the IP address instead the domain name, and have tried disabling my Windows Firewall (temporarily), still with no luck.
I'm sure this is more of a network setup issue than a code issue, but I thought I would ask anyway to see if there is anything I can do. Sorry for the spaces in the urls above. This is my first post to SO, and I apparently don't have enough of a reputation to post more than a single link.
By "elsewhere on the Internet", I am assuming you are attempting to access it from a different ISP.
The thing about some ISPs is that unless you are paying for a "business class" connection, they will do all sorts of tricks to ensure that you remain a "consumer". What you need is an unNATed static IP address.
By this I mean that the IP address that you may have at your home may not be accessible to the outside world because the ISP is actually NATing (or other) that address to you. This is a fairly common practice because of limited IP4 addresses. If you really want a service accessible via the WWW, I would suggest moving your product to a VPN, or at least a commodity hosting provider.
Edit: Try a VPN service like Hamachi

Connect to my localhost from another computer NOT in the same network

I have a real IP. Or so I think, basically how I tested this is under windows in cmd I pinged my IP address and I got packages back, so that must mean it's real. However when I start my xampp and go to my IP address in the browser I get
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server
I tried looking up other questions but they didn't help cause all answers I found were suggesting LAN connection. Can you please explain to me any extra steps I need to take or link an answer that does that. Thanks!
The only way to access your localhost from other computers is over a Local Area Network (LAN); whether wired or wireless, there has to be a physical connection between the computers.
Once the computers are connected, you can access your localhost from the browser with the name of the computer on other computers:
http ://your-computer/path/to/files/
It also works on the same computer, so you can test it there.
You can find the name of your computer by going to the "Network" section in Windows Explorer.
EDIT:
If you want to access a localhost from a computer that is on another network, you have to create a web server; more or less what you would be paying for from a hosting company. Here is how you would do it:
