Define "restricted area". How is it restricted? Using Login Forms?
Using HTTP Authentication? Using .htaccess to filter using IP
Addresses?

What errors are you getting? Do you get the same errors, when you
access the site using a Browser? Are you accessing the site via
someurl.com or localhost? If you're using someurl.com, and the ip
address of someurl.com is 1.2.3.4, then you'll need to add 1.2.3.4 to
the list of allowed ip addresses. Your server probably doesn't
recognise that 1.2.3.4 is actually the same as 127.x.x.x when deciding
to allow or deny.
