Remote access to local WP site

Hi all,

I’ve just started working on my WP site. For the time being I’m creating it locally (the SQL database is online, though), using MAMP on OSX (MAMP = Mac Apache MySQL PHP, equivalent to EasyPHP on XP).

Whenever I view my site locally (pointing Safari or Firefox to http://localhost:8888/blog/) I see the site correctly. However, when I try to load it on my networked XP machine (http://192.168.0.10:8888/blog/), using either IE6 or Firefox, I get the web site without the stylesheet applied.

It seems that all links are hard-converted to ‘localhost’ instead of using the proper IP address, because when I click on a link I get an error message (obviously, since there is no ‘localhost’ server running on my XP machine).

This does *not* happen with my current site (hosted locally at http://localhost:8888/, outside the /blog/ directory), where links function as they should. So I guess this is not a problem with MAMP but rather with the way WP handles links and internal references.

Is there any way around this? I don’t want to put the WP site online until I finish creating it locally. And I need to test it on several networked computers.

Thanks a lot.
