Fiddler not capturing traffic - SOLVED!

After spending hours fiddling around with Fiddler options I found this simple solution that worked:

Use machine name as the hostname instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1.

Rather then

http://localhost/mypage.html

try

http://machinename/mypage.html

2. Your machine name will be displayed under "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" (Vista) or next to "Full computer name:" (Windows 7, XP, and 2000).
