I have a very similar problem (I think). I am installing on my own server and have a hyperlink to the index page on my home page. I can pull up the “welcome page” on my local machine. If I click on any of the internal links however it takes me back to my home page. (the external links to things like wordpress.org, etc. work fine)
If I log on from the outside world and hit the hyperlink to the wordpress index, I get the words but without the theme, and then if I try the internal links I get the “page not found”
This is probably a long way of asking if there is a clear and consise for the newbie description of where all the files should reside?
and where the other files should be commented to point appropriately?
Thanks in advance!
