# WordPress on LAN

 * 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” on any machine, it displays the default XAMPP page which indicates 
   that there is nothing wrong with my network.
 * Please note: I have tried this on 2 separate LANs. One is running Windows XP 
   and the other Ubuntu. I’m using XAMPP 1.6.4. Both networks have the same issue.

 * Hi adamrbrown,
 * Yes, I’m aware of that post but there is not solution for the problem. I have
   tried to switch Windows Firewall off on the Windows XP machines but there is 
   not effect.

 * I was putting the link there so anyone responding would know to keep their responses
   in one thread–otherwise, you might find people duplicating their efforts by responding
   to both threads. That’s all. People can get a little frustrated by duplicate 
   posts sometimes.
 * As for the topic at hand, I don’t know the solution.
