I'll start out with my Apache Error Log:

Now, here's the story:

I'm laying in bed after I got home from school, pretty long day; so I'm taking a nap. I suddenly hear this loud bang from outside. I'm in the basement at my house, so for me to hear something that loud shocked me. I instantly woke up, and ran outside. Turns out that the power-line to one my neighbor's house's snapped somehow. The yard was on fire, house full of smoke, and a lady screaming for help. To spare the details, the electric company stops by to work on it. They shut off the power to the whole street, and took about 2-3 hours to fix the lines. Well, once the power came back on, I started up my PC; everything seemed to have loaded fine. Turns out I was wrong...

I went to check my website (http://spaceballs.no-ip.org/) and found that it wouldn't load! I even tried loading it in a proxy site to check. I went to my PC, checked it out...and there were no immediate problems. I went to the localhost, and it worked fine. So, I went back over to my other PC, went to the IP of my server (192.168.2.3) and it loaded fine as well. I decided to check everything! I mean, the local & private IP, the router configuration, the modem configuration, everything!

In short, absolutely nothing had changed. There were no other problems, I can still use all other software, even FTP to my server. However, for some reason...I just cannot seem to get it up on the net anymore. I've tried everything but a full system format. I've tried everything from restarting the software, the PC, and even uninstalling and re-installing WampServer. No Luck sad smiley

So, if anybody has ANY clue as to how this happened, or better yet...a way to fix it, please let me know. If push comes to shove, I'll just have to reformat the whole thing and hope for the best.

Thanks for the help guys!

Again, all numbers are the same...both External and Internal.

Anyway, I applicate the reply, but I found the problem.

Turns out I just needed to power-cycle my modem and router. Seems to load fine now.

Again, thanks anyway, and hope this helps anyone who may have this problem in the future...

(even though, now I feel like an idiot for trying the complicated stuff...but not the simple)
