 * I just installed the latest version of WP on my machine to run as a localhost
   while I trial it and set things up and work on what I exactly want from a website.
 * Everything goes well until I try to login.
 * I type admin and the password and nothing happens.
 * If I go through the password reset I am sent a link then a new password but when
   I try to login again it just sits there with nothing happening.
 * If I put in the wrong login name or password I get a message informing me that
   it is the wrong login or password.
 * Any ideas how to fix this?

 * OK – I have isolated the problem to be a Zonealarm configuration problem. When
   I shut down Zonealarm everything is fine.
 * When I work out the Zonealarm configuration required I will post the fix.

 * I have the same problem, don’t have Zonealarm but Kaspersky. I allowed the local
   network (in filtration rules), but it don’t work either.
