Fiddler: DNS Lookup for 192.168.2.203.fiddler failed.

[Jon80]

I'm getting the above error message when trying to use a workaround
suggested for viewing local host. Does this indicate I have to
configure NS lookup within fiddler or within the OS?

How are you writing the URL? (do you have the appropriate Fiddler
version? 2.1.8?)
I've just tried using the http://ipv4.fiddler method with visual web
developer and it works as expected
Have you tried the other methods listed on that page?
An alternative method I've read about in the old forums, but is not
mentioned in the linked document is using localhost followed by a dot
(e.g. http://localhost.:port/path.aspx)

Did you modify the CustomRules.js file? Or did you simply use
http://ipv4.fiddler?

Well I tried it again, and, got a different error this time:

[Fiddler] Connection to 192.168.2.203 failed. Exception Text: No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
it 192.168.2.203:56939.

I think it is some security setting, even though Windows Firewall is
off from that machine. In any case it does not seem to be a "Fiddler"
issue, but rather an OS issue.

Thanks for your help.
