Hello, I run Node-red on WIN10 PC.  
I start Node-red at Command prompt and then browse to 127.0.0.1 IP.  
It has been working in the past, but recently Edge started to return error message: Hmmm… can't reach this page **127.0.0.1** refused to connect.  
127.0.0.1 is up and running, I can ping it, but cannot connect in Edge  
What can be the reason for this and how to resolve? Thanks

Is the command window/powershell still open? Does it show any errors?

Note: for node-red to continue running you need to either keep the terminal (from where you launch node-red) open or run it as a service. (When you close the terminal, you kill the process).

along with the ip of the Node-red system you need to tag on the port which is usually **1880**

`http://127.0.0.1:1880` (if browsing from the same computer)  
`http://localhost:1880`  
`http://<node-red-ip>:1880` (if browsing remotly)
