I have a local IIS running, with a binding like www.dev.mydomain.com
, the hostname is listed in an external DNS server and name resolution works fine.
When opening the site http://www.dev.mydomain.com
in Microsoft Edge I get this message:
Hmm, we can't reach this page.
Make sure that you’ve got the right web address: http://www.dev.mydomain.com
The F12 Network Tab
doesn't show anything.
What does work:
- Using Firefox, Chrome, IE-11 and Command Line tools on the local machine
- Using Edge from another machine on the local network
- Using Edge on the same machine but with a different user
- Using Edge with my user but using
localhost
or an IP address either127.0.0.1
or192.168.x.x
What I tried but not solving the problem:
- Restarting the
Network List Service
and theNetwork Location Awareness
service. - adding
www.dev.mydomain.com
to thehosts
file. - using TLS and https://www.dev.mydomain.com
- Using the same Windows Proxy settings as for the user which doesn't have the problem.
So this is a problem specific to one user and Edge, other programs or users don't have this problem.
Any ideas what else I can do to diagnose this?
Windows 10 - 1607 (14393.105)

You need to enable the loopback address which is disabled by default in edge.
go to
about:flags
and enable "allow local loopback"be aware that there is a security implication in this but the risk is low.
