Can't load http after creating MAMP localhost - http

I'm currently working on http://thomaskinkadegallery.com - however, now that I have set up a localhost (http://thomaskinkadegallery.com:8888) on my local machine, I cannot access the remote server anymore. I get a page timeout. I checked the page on another computer, it's working just fine.
What is blocking the site on my machine?

ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT When Accessing An IIS Website From Another Machine On The Network

I'm receiving an ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT error when trying to access the Default.aspx webpage from another computer.
I have setup a local website using IIS - from the machine where the website has been hosted using IIS, I am able to navigate to the Default.aspx webpage on the local browser.
I have setup bindings to an IP address so I can access it from other devices on the network. I have also setup the firewall to unblock all ports so I am able to access this.
Problem:
When I navigate on the local machine where I have the website hosted using IIS, I am able to see the Default.aspx webpage.
However, now that I have binded an IP in IIS to the website, I want to be able to reach it from another PC on the network.
Currently I am able to access all the webpages in sub directories and also the main directory for the website using:
192.168.1.165:81/SubDirectory/File.aspx
192.168.1.165:81/FileInLocalDirectory.aspx
BUT I am not able to access the homepage named 192.168.1.165:81/Default.aspx.
I have no idea why. The error I receive is
192.168.1.165 sent an invalid response.
ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT
I don't know what the issue is. I don't know if there is something in Default.aspx that is stopping the webpage from being displayed when trying to be accessed from a machine and not the local machine.

Access wordpress website on localhost from remote network

I want to show my client the WordPress website on localhost being developed by me (it's still in the beginning stage, not ready to go live yet). This is what I have done so far:
- I have done port forwarding and have tested it (whenever I access my Xampp localhost from the remote network by entering my computer's ip, it opens up the localhost dashboard).
Now this where I'm stuck:
- Whenever, I specify a directory of website (in htdocs) on my remote network's url (like this: mycomputer's ip/folder's name it changes the url to localhost/folder's name and the page doesn't open).
How do I resolve this issue?
Add this line to your wp-config.php might help:
define('WP_HOME','http://your-computer-IP');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://your-computer-IP');
and comment or delete that line when your work from home.
But there's something can be improved. Try to some DDNS services and install their application to your local machine. After installed, you can access your computer from mymachine.ddns.net even you're home or not. So with below setting, you no need to edit anything when you change your work location.
define('WP_HOME','http://mymachine.ddns.net');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://mymachine.ddns.net');

adding website to local iis. getting Server not found error

I am adding a web application to my local iis. I added the path to the folder with the bin is inside. I specified the application pool and applied my login credentials. When I hit test settings, everything passed. When I typed mysite.local on the browser, I get the following. I also clicked on Browse Website and get the same error. This is on my personal PC.
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.comicrage.local.
Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Have you added mysite.local to the hosts file? If not, add the following to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts.
127.0.0.1 mysite.local
The hosts file is responsible for any local overrides that should take precedence over DNS.

how to configure iis so that I can connect to my iis hosted localhost from a remote windows pc

there must be a load of questions on this but I cant get it working. I have a asp.net app running locally hosted within iis (windows 8/ version 6.2) which I can browse locally. Example below, and it works without a problem.
http://localhost:1234
I'm trying to browse this site from a windows virtual machine using remote desktop and then launching the browser on the client machine. Unfortunately this display "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
any ideas why I cant get through on a remote desktop? The client has internet access obviously and I can ping the other machine (both ways). Is there an IIS or firewall setting I can configure. The firewall on the dev box (i.e. the web server in this situation) has a firewall switched on. When I turn it off I still get the same error message.
My iis authenication settings are shown below (for my website, not for the 'Default Web Site'):
On the client machine, I'm using the following:
http://12.34.56.78:1234
Thanks,
James
Try using https: instead of http: and also to access the website from other PC, you need to enable your Anonymous Authentication. And you also need to Enable the Directory Browsing from IIS settings of website.
Can you ping the ip? Disable the firewall on both machines and try.
Let me know

My Localhost is not running

When I run my local host from VS2010, I'm getting a blank page in the browser. Which means that I'm not able to run my asp.net project.
localhost:50319/Default.aspx
but typing in the address bar localhost only display the default page.
IIS is already configured and hosted over the internet using a static IP.
Without debugging I cannot publish or make any change to my site.
