Open CF Admin

New to cf/dw... was tasked to modify a project by adding some entry forms linked to a SQL db. I setup the dbs on the SQL server... setup the existing site in DW with a local (C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\Site 1\) and remote (\\Remote\c$\Inetpub\wwwroot\) view, but I can't connect to the CF Admin to tie in the data sources. My testing server show up as red but this is the only config that will allow me to even use the Modify Data Sources button.(testing server folder - C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\dwcf\) (URL- http://localhost:8500/dwcf/) When I click on the MDS button it opens a folder of files on the Site. Everything I read says it should open the CF Admin pane to identify data sources and conection parameters. Any ideas to get me to that stage? I searched around and I don't even show CF in my programs with an startup link, but the RDS login seems to allow me to view data sources as a folder ( http://localhost:8500/site%201/).
