After losing my internet for no apparent reason, I did a Network reset and rebooted which fixed the problem.
A few days after I fired up my AMPPS server and could no longer access any of my local Wordpress sites.
I realized the Network reset had changed my IPv4 from 1.63 to 1.64.
So I went into the Ethernet Properties for the adapter and changed it back to 1.63.
Fired up AMMPS perfect.
Tried to open a normal website - no connection. Outlook no connection. Skype no connection.
Ping google and it does respond? So ping responds but all other apps can't connect. WTH?
Can someone explain why I can't use the internet after changing my IP address locally back to where it was a few days ago?
I need both my internet and my local web server, not either one or the other.
Thanks.

Hi. No other conflicts with .63 and I even checked at the cmd prompt. Fixed it by setting a static IP in the router.
Both internet and local server now work.

If some other device picked up the .63 address then you'd have conflicting addresses and would experience problems.
