Wrll this has been very interesting. On my Samsung phone w Samsung browser and my PC using Chrome the admin url returns the 127.0.0.1 error My work PC acts the same. Searching the WP forum Tonight I found a post suggesting browsers could get stuck on a bad redirect and to delete the browser cache. Dont know why 3 computer redirected to the local host 127.0.0.1 but as i deleted the cache on each I could log into the admin url.
Appreciated everyones help.
