Local WP/Remote Database login problem

Hi all,

I got my local WordPress codebase successfully connecting to my remote database by editing the wp-config.php with new database connection strings. I also added my ip address on my remote databases allowable hosts.

I can hit my homepage fine locally, however, when I try to login and go to /wp-admin, it redirects me to the live site I have running on my remote host.

So this works great:

http://localhost/mysite.com/

but this:

http://localhost/mysite.com/wp-admin

redirects me to:

http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin

Thoughts?
