Most likely you have a firewall blocking access to port 10000 - check the
/etc/sysconfig/iptables file, and make sure there is a rule that allows
that port, then run /etc/init.d/iptables to apply it.

As for the blocking of localhost, this can be cleared by restarting
Webmin with the command /etc/webmin/restart
