Tried browsing to 127.0.0.1 when asked for username/password tried the 
username/password for the Nessus user I setup.  That didn't work.  Tried the 
username/password for my workstation.  That allowed me to get to 
http:\\127.0.0.1\localstart.asp

I then changed the username and password for the workstation and tried to 
connect again.

Still get the same message.

By the way I did check to see if my firewall was on, but it is turned off.  I 
turned off my Spyware checking / virus checking software.

I can see that nessusd.exe is running in my Windows Task Manager / Processes 
tab.

What else can I check?
