 * I’ve scrubbed google and these forums. Nothing anyone is suggesting is working.
 * I’m testing moving the community college website (i’m the webmaster) from frontpage(
   i inherited this) to hopefully cms. i’m not a newbie to wordpress, but i am a
   newbie to multisite.
 * At first i set it up on the windows 2008 iis7 test server. My first go round 
   i set everything up with localhost/127.0.0.1 I do believe I could see all the
   multisite subfolders and dashboards like that. but my boss wanted to show it 
   during a meeting.
 * So i’m starting from scratch using the server’s address 192.160.00.XX. Got it
   all up. put in a web.config file in the root directory, as specified by multisite
   final setup set. added the .htaccess to the root directory (everything is in 
   a folder called webroot – wordpress is installed directly into webroot NOT the
   wordpress folder so going to the 192 address takes you to the site)
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$
   $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]
 * i can go to the new site i made 192.168.100.xx/hr and the site shows up (sans
   any sorts of style sheet so it just goes down the length of the page) but the
   dashboard for the site 404s.
 * At first i thought it was a permission problem. nope.
    deactivated the network
   plugins. Didn’t work
 * For the love of wordpress, someone smarter than me tell me what to do. I feel
   like throwing this computer to Timbuktu I’m so frustrated.
