External URL to localhost loses WordPress template

    Developing a website for a client on my iMac with MAMP PRO 3 and WordPress 3.9.2 installed, using a DDNS service from no-ip.com to allow client to externally view development work on my localhost server before uploading it live to his hosting provider.
    This URL works for a non-Wordpress (Dreamweaver) sample site:
    http://driverk.ddns.net:8888/nonWP/
    But for a WordPress site, the page template (twentytwelve) is lost:
    http://driverk.ddns.net:8888/aclta/
    Tried editing wp-load.php to include the full URL, still does not work and only breaks the site for viewing via localhost with internal browser.
    Any ideas please?
