 * Hi
 * I am running WordPress 2.2 in my lan environment. I am running [wamp5](http://www.wampserver.com/en/).
 * When I try to access my blog from any other comp in my network I am getting a
   page not found error. I referred to this site and realised I need to make the
   change in the options tab. The fields blog address and wordpress address use 
   the IP and not the localhost. I have even restarted the wamp server once.
 * The blog is still not accessible from anywhere. Hmmm am I missing something ?

 * Have you turned off the windows firewall on the machine your running wordpress
   on, or atleast allowed http traffic in.

 * better still you havent indicated whether or not a simple html file is web accessible
   given the same circumstances.
 * Its important to determine whether or not this is wordpress issue or networking
   issue, and doing that will give you the answer

 * ChandrasekaranKrishnan,
 * I’m also having similar circumstances. I want to install WordPress locally and
   access it from other machines on the same network. I have tested the network 
   and it’s working perfectly (a simple html file is accessible on all machines 
   in the same network).
 * The problem starts when I want to access my WordPress from different machines.
   The URL “localhost/wordress” or “talrasha/wordpress” works fine on the machine
   where WordPress is installed. But when I try to access it from a different machine
   with the URL “talrasha/wordpress”, it doesn’t work. If I enter just the URL “
   talrasha”, it then displays the default XAMPP page which indicates that there
   is nothing wrong with my network.

 * I’ve been trying to solve this problem since 1 month. I’m done today.
    Just make
   the wordpress URL the local machine ip adress. It’s localhost default. But make
   it the ip adress.
