    I installed XAMPP and WordPress on Windows machine. All went smoothly. I can view my website on this machine.

    Now I try to see my webpage on a different computer in the home network. I use http:\\192.168.2.21\** and am able to see the front page text, but not any images and other pages, which has a fixed permanent address http:\\localhost\**

    So the question is how to configure WordPress to use http:\\192.168.2.21\**

    In future, I would like to export the website to a web hosting company, or even run my own http server. I would like to prevent this permanent address issue altogether. Any suggestions?
