 * Hi, I have installed wordpress in my two computers (Machine1 & Machine2).
    When
   I access //192.168.1.1/wordpress from second computer, the wordpress home page
   is loading from the first computer but not theme. When I click some link it automatically
   redirects to the wordpress installed in second computer (local host). It may 
   be becuase mysql is installed in both the machines. Is there a way to solve.
 * In short, I need to access //192.168.1.1/wordpress and //192.168.1.2/wordpress
   from the same computer.
 * Thanks a lot for your help.

 * Have you tried configuring the database server location in wp-config.php as the
   IP address instead of localhost?
 * /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘192.168.1.1’);

 * It would help to know what O/S your installation was on. It sounds like a permissions
   issue, or you may need to modify your hosts file.
