Are you using DnyDNS?

Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Open the file "Hosts" with notepad... Here is what it should look like... ill highlight red what you need to change.

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.544.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.252.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 (Your DynDNS hostname here)

If you do this it should work
