How Come I Cannot Connect To My IP Address?
-
When i try to put my IP address, this pops up... Failed to Connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 64.195.64.1. Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection. * Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later. * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection. * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing. nothing's wrong with my internet, i can view any page. except my IP. i use firefox as you can see so idk if that might be the problem. i need some help. i'm trying to fix/reduce some lag for an online game.

Answer:
If I can give you an example, what happens when you call your own phone number, can you talk to yourself? A similar thing happens when you try to connect to your own IP address, the routers realize that you are trying to connect to yourself and will not allow it. If it was allowed, you would be tying up resources of the Internet to talk to yourself.

Why do you want to connect to your own IP address? If you're not running a web server, you won't get anything. If you're building a web site, you can always connect to 127.0.0.1, which is always your computer's "home" address. Computer geeks have a saying: There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Get out of dreamland. Your IP addy (the one assigned to your modem by your isp) ISNT a web page! If you can play the game, it has NOTHING to do with your IP and everything to do with how fast your internet is, how much traffic there is on the site, how far away the site is, etc.. You are probably on a wireless connection to your modem on top of it all and thats the WORST option for online gaming. If so, get wired
