No CSS on local computer

    So last night I installed wordpress on my local server (XAMPP on WinServer2003 connected through ICS) but didn’t have time to configure it because I had to go to work.

    At work, I had some time on my hands so I decided to log in (which is funny because word pretty much blocks out the entire internet, so I have to set my server up to use port 8080) and continue setting up wordpress.
    It worked flawlessly at work. I got it set up in just a few minutes, I posted a new msg and created a new account.

    So then I come home and try to access it. Only, it wouldn’t load?
    The main page works, but the wordpress directory does not, the wp-admin directory does not, nor does any php file.
    So I open up the readme.html file, and it opens fine.
    There’s a link to log in, so I try that. It works, but there’s no css and it takes the page a while to load.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I have one, it’s crap. Constantly drops connection, constantly unable to even access it. It’s just the biggest peice of shit I’ve ever used.

    And it’s not even the only router I’ve had the connection issues with, so I’d rather just not use one.

    I’ve managed to live with the ICS, it works (until now, of course..), it’s just not that configurable.

    Huh. I’ve used several Linksys routers, never had a problem with them. They work great.

    My luck I guess.

    I’ve used multiple linksys, d-link, netgear.. All either dropped the connection randomly, or slowed the connection.

    ICS however, does neither. It’s relatively easy to set up as well.

    If you have a Linksys router, try installing newer firmware on it. Not the Linksys stuff, but the good stuff. I use dd-wrt on mine, makes it nice and easy and fast.

    Currently have WRT24G, with dd-wrt firmware.

    Still sucks.

    Well, then I really can’t help you. I love my router, wouldn’t switch to ICS for love nor money. Never had the problems that you’re describing with it.

    Well, either way..

    http://10.0.0.* doesn’t work on outside my network.
    So I’d have to make it http://my.site.com?

    Yes, except that my.site.com won’t work on your inside network, will it?

    So you’re kinda screwed either way there. I guess you could put my.site.com in your local hosts file to force it to direct you to the internal IP address. Might work.

    It does work, I do this myself at home, not the ICS part but for a couple of different reasons I can’t add the domain name to my local dns server so I have to use a hosts file on my desktop.

    Good call, I’ll try that.

    It works, haha nice.

    Thanks so much for all your help and speedy responses 🙂
