   I have a local install of WordPress 3.3.1 running on Apache from a Red Hat Linux server. On the localhost WordPress loads and acts as is should. However when I connect to it from another machine on my network the css does not load and I cannot access wp-admin.

   Let me guess - you used localhost or 127.0.0.0 as your site urls? Every machine thinks that it is localhost/127.0.0.0.

   Thank you for your response. I did not use the local host as the sites url. I assigned it an internal IP and set it as static. I used virtual host to set the directory path.

   Not sure why this was marked resolved or by whom but... ok. The one answer did not address the issue, I simply thanked esmi for responding.

   I am running into the same problem. I have a fresh install of wamp on Windows XP and a fresh install of WordPress. When I view the site from the computer (http://localhost/wordpress) the default theme looks fine. When I try viewing the website from another machine on the network (http://wiki/wordpress) I get a site that is broken (css not working, images broken, etc).

   Any suggestions?

   I posted this question on the wamp server support forums and got an immediate answer:

   Basic answer- In your WordPress settings, you need to put in the machine's ip address for the Site Address and the site address instead of localhost.

   Hope this helps!
