I need to specify a port. Cool. That's all I needed to know.

Regarding the original question of why the browser is saying "problem with address", what is the actual error?  Name resolution, connection, cert, etc etc?  Those friendly human readable errors leave too much open to interpretation.

The IP address range 127.0. 0.0 – 127.255. 255.255 is reserved for loopback, i.e. a Host's self-address, also known as localhost address. This loopback IP address is managed entirely by and within the operating system.

Thanks,
Alexander.

Are the addresses for localhost 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 ? That was a rhetorical question. What isn't rhetorical is why, when I enter either of those addresses into a browser , do I get a 'problem with address' page? Are there
