    I have successfully set up my wordpress.org 3.0 on my workstation which is running Windows XP Pro. My set up consist of using easyphp (includes mysql, apache, phpmyadmin). The site works perfect on my own computer, links are correctly linked, theme is properly applied, format is all correct. But when I try to access it from a different workstation I only get the site map but none of the links work and the theme is no where to be found. What am I doing wrong?

    My wordpress folder is located in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www
    This was the location I was instructed to set it up in via easyphp directions

    I just want to be able to host my intranet from my workstation so everyone can view the site as I have on my workstation. Can anyone help, thanks in advance.

    Issue has been resolved!

    Here’s what you will need to do. your files are currently all located in www/wordpress

    Take all the files inside of wordpress folder and put them in the www file folder. All the files should now reside in the www folder and not in the www/wordpress folder

    Next step is to change your configuration in wordpress.org setting and general, so log back into wordpress.org by typing in the following into your browser http://127.0.0.1/wp-login.php this is your new login address since you move all your files to this folder

    Next step is to change the WordPress address (URL) and Site address (URL)to your machines ip address. This can be accomplished by typing in cmd in the command window (MS flag and R at the same time) of your computer. type ip config/all look for the line showing ip address and enter it as you see it but remember to type in http://xxx.xx.x.xx substitude the xs with your up info.

    To make this work on all computers, you will need to also change a system32 file for each computer. For example, this is an intranet and you just want everyone to type in index in their browswer and it will automatically direct them to your intranet page…well here’s how to do it.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
    hosts file is the one you want to edit
    You will see:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    Add this line

    172.16.2.13 index

    Restart your easyphp and type in index in a browser and you will be redirected to the intranet and it will have the full theme, links and format. Only issue that I have outstanding now is the calendar on the second level of my page is not functioning on my remote workstations but works perfectly on mind local station.

    Remember the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc hosts file must be modified on each workstation before they can access the intranet otherwise they’ll be seeing the directory and an ugly no theme site with bad formatting and bad links!
