***FIXED***
What a rookie mistake! Figured out the reason the darn thing didn't like
taking an actual IP but 127.0.0.1
I had DHCP on my server! I was building VMs so never put a static (thinking
i would when i get this working...)
Make the IP static, and boom, it works.
(hope i am not celebrating too early, but i restarted the backend service a
few times and works)
Thank you all for the time and effort.
