Try clearing the IE cache.  See about turning off auto-completion of 
URLs, too.

Also try an explicit protocol prefix:

   http://127.0.0.1:3000

And consider adding an entry to your hosts file

   127.0.0.1 www.example.com

and trying it with that bogus domain:

http://www.example.com:3000

If you have something like wget, fetch the page and inspect the headers 
to see if anything looks odd.
