All, Problem resolved!
Ok. The change to the context.xml file controls if/what external ips can
access the webapp. That was one thing that had to be changed from an initial
install, but that wasn’t my final issue.
The final issue was that I couldn't authenticate properly against my
tomcat-users.xml file.
I ended up starting back with modifying the original tomcat-users.xml file.
After the comment end for the sample roles and users...
I added a line for the role for manager-gui and
Added another line for the user for "admin" with the password
and manager-gui role,
restarted, and voila it works now.
Must've been something that I did wrong during the multiple attempts to edit
the tomcat-users.xml file.
Thanks to all who responded.
On to the next fire!
Thanks...
Joel

John Larson, in another reply to this thread, suggested that you
change your webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml file to remove the
IP-based restriction on who can connect to the manager.
I'm suggesting that you undo any changes that you might have made
unless you really understand the security implications.
Hope that helps,
