Did you add a hosts file entry for "127.0.0.1 myproject.dev" so it knows how to resolve it?

But I'm beating my head against the wall here... I've been developing locally in CFBuilder on Windows 7. When I installed CFBuilder I used the "Built-In Webserver" option rather than local IIS or Apache or something else. Things have been working fine - I could access my server at http://localhost:8300, set up databases, and do the typical things one would expect. I have a few different projects in the root server each in their own folder. However, this required browsing to http://localhost:8300/myProjectFolder but to simulate the production sites, this couldn't continue. I wanted to set it up so I could do http://myproject.dev or some variation but the problem is I can't quite figure out how, or at least how to do it correctly. In my local server aptly named LocalDev configuration from CFBuilder, I added a Virtual Host named myproject.dev, Host name, myproject.dev, Port 8300 (same as the server) over http and pointed at my document root which lives in the cf server root folder. I had a multi-instance install so the path is C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\myProject I then right clicked on my project >Properties>Coldfusion Server Settings and selected my server with the virtual host. "LocalDev-myproject.dev" and see a Sample Url of http://myproject.dev:8300/ Now it looks like all systems go but when I try to browse there to a basic txt file right in the root http://myproject.dev:8300/readme.txt Chrome says "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to myproject.dev:8300" Firefox equivalent is "The connection has timed out The server at myproject.dev is taking too long to respond." What am I doing wrong!? I'm going nuts over here!
