I am having an anoying problem here.

I am trying to test my web site locally using an unused url "lwww.domain.com". I set everything including my host file, and then when I try to access in IE. Network provider (COX) just redirects my request to its own page "finder.cox.com/dsfjlsjdlfjlf". I am wondering how this happen and how to turn this off. I just want a 404 page if nothing found. Actually, the redirection even happen after I disable my network adapter, although it cannot get anything back.

Thanks a lot

Is there a reason you aren't just using localhost? – Kyle Trauberman May 11 '11 at 0:50
By "locally," I assume you mean on your computer rather than a live website? Is there a reason not to use localhost instead? – Tieson T. May 11 '11 at 0:51
Somebody says I need to use <forms domain="example.com"> to allow aspnet to log me into different side by side web application at the same time....... – Feng May 11 '11 at 0:57
I know it doesn't answer the question, but my provider (Qwest) had the same type of thing. I believe I had to make a change to my account settings. It wasn't a local setting, it was a behavior of my internet service. You may want to contact Cox to see if they have something similar. – jesus.tesh May 11 '11 at 1:03
Yes, I guess it may be a provider thing. However, the wierd thing is it happens even if I unplug my network cable!! – Feng May 11 '11 at 1:15
