I cant access the GUI. Usually if there was an error, it would display after the / but there's nothing

For some reason, im able to access it on another pc on the same network but not locally?

- how are you running Node-RED?
- have you modified the `httpAdminRoot` property in the settings file? Or any other changes to the settings file?
- any error messages in the Node-RED startup log?

- how are you running Node-RED?  
Im on windows 10. I ran it through cmd

- have you modified the `httpAdminRoot` property in the settings file? Or any other changes to the settings file?  
No editing of any file. The only troubleshooting iv tried is reinstalling node-red

- any error messages in the Node-RED startup log?  
Nope. As far as i know, there's no errors here.  

Also one weird thing is that I am able to access node-red using another a computer on the same private network. Don't know if that's related or not

In that case it is not a node-red issue but an issue with the machine it is running on accessing localhost. Does it work if you use [http://127.0.0.1:1880](http://127.0.0.1:1880)?  
Also does it work if you use the IP address (or whatever you use from the other machine)?

Both localhost and 127.0.0.1:1880 will return the cannot get/ error

- Also does it work if you use the IP address (or whatever you use from the other machine)?

Yes it does. I am able to access node-red terminal by using the node-red host ip.

To clarify, lets say machine 1 is running node-red and its ip is 192.168.1.2  
I am unable to use machine 1 to view node red with localhost:1880 or [http://127.0.0.1:1880](http://127.0.0.1:1880/)  
but I am able use machine 1 node-red from other machines by using 192.168.1.2:1880

What browser are you using? Can you try a different one?

Hello @subwayfootlong ,

did you try [http://localhost:1880/ui/](http://localhost:1880/ui/)?

Cheers

What happens if - on machine-1 - you open a terminal window and use  
`ping 127.0.0.1 -c 3`  
If it doesn’t work then something on the device is blocking access
