Howto access WP on localhost AND lan-ip ? (1 post)

    Howto can I access WP on localhost as well as on a LAN-IP?
    Here is a WP 2.8.4 serving a LAN on 192.168.0.1.
    Now I'd like to reach it by ssh tunnel from outside to the server.
    The tunnel creates a port 80 on my remote pc which works nicely for anything else but WordPress.
    WP uses 192.168.0.1 in links within it's pages. This address is unreachable by ssh-tunnel so I'm stuck.

    I know that other applications like phpMyAdmin, phpPgAdmin or TikiWiki don't have this limitation.
    E.g. phpMyAdmin sets "192.168.0.1" in it's internal links when it is accessed by LAN and "localhost/..." when I use it by ssh tunnel.

    How can I configure WP so that it serves connections from LAN as well as localhost, too?
