Installed XAMPP on C drive to develop WordPress site without being online. XAMPP works fine with internet, nothing when disconnected. I have tried going through the faqs and forums for help but haven't found the right keywords yet. When i try to open up http://localhost/xampp/ when disconnected I get

I have a web filter on my computer. is this messing with me or is it something else?
I also have disabled the windows firewall without any change.

Thanks, Nelson

What the error log says is that Apache is running (apparently OK).

Questions -
what is the ServerName in xampp/apache/httpd.conf?
did you setup something like DynDNS to point to a Domain Name?

But - it may indeed be that 'webfilter' you have running, how about we turn it off so try to get to the bottom of this?
