Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2350

Running ollama serve in WSL should let me visit http://127.0.0.1:11434/ in my Windows browser.
This worked the other day, now it doesn't.

Using netcat and python3 -m http.server -b 192.168.1.178 8000 to test other apps/ports, it looks like only Ollama is refusing to participate.

Tried running the ollama serve command from inside a vscode terminal in a window using WSL, and vscode reported the port as being forwarded, but it still failed. Plus, this shouldn't be necessary since I had it working in just the windows terminal doing the serve command.

I restarted the computer and it's just working now. I don't even know.
