Have you tried MachineName.DomainName.tld.
Does ping localhost in a command window work?

ping works fine and all browsers other than Chrome work fine.
If I'm working on example.com, the local working URL is usually example.dev - so that's what the URLs look like.

Does it maybe need the port numbers at the end of the url? example.dev:8888
Just tossing that out there since I spend many frustrating hours not too long ago struggling with seeing my local server from IE in windows using VMware (I'm on a Mac), turned out I'd not been adding the ports.

have you messed around with your proxy settings in chrome?
if you're using a proxy there's a checkbox to bypass it for local addresses.

Thanks guys
Apache is listening on port 80. Adding :80 to the URL does nothing.
I had checked the proxy settings. Checked them again. No luck.

Got it!
Chrome depends on Internet Explorer Internet Options to set it's connection. A lot of things can screw with IE's ability to work with your local hosts file.
I did the following and now it works:
- turn off Search Suggestions
- under LAN settings, uncheck "use automatic configuration"
Fixed!

Arrghhh - Chrome has become so annoying. Now all of the sudden it decides that it will not access, of all things, GOOGLE!
That's right, I can't actually use Google with Chrome. The irony

Possibly because you turned off search suggestions..if it can't talk to the mothership..it may well auto-sulk..

Are you sure you don't have any extensions hat might be interfering with your connection? This sounds very odd.
Do you get the same behavior with an incognito window?

The google.com issue seems to have resolved itself.
The issue of not accessing local domains defined in the HOSTS file is pretty common.
The Google issue was a random issue. On another machine, though, I found Chrome the least reliable with Google services.

Curiously, I still can't access Google with Chrome except maybe one or two pages after I clear the cache.
I can, however, access it from an incognito window. It's enough to send me back to Firefox. If I could only remember what sent me from Firefox to Chrome :-)

Did you ever try firing up the Dev Tools in Chrome (just press F12) and examining the Network tab to see what it was doing?

Currently after clearing the cache I can't get it to fail. I"m logged into a gmail account and have activated about 10 extensions that I normally don't even use.
I think it someone has something to do with being logged into a Google service because even with no extensions it generally reasserts itself.
>>incognito
It pretty much always works in incognito, so I assume this is related to an extension, a cookie or the very fact of being logged into some Google service.
>>Network tab
When it fails, the Network tabs shows nothing or a single .png (I think it's something like "success.png" but I could be wrong about that.
Every time I turn off an extension and think I have it figured, it twinks out again. If I clear the cache, it tends to behave normally for a while.
