  • I have a similar problem, may be the exact same thing, but anyway, I’ll try to explain my situation as best as possible.

    I am running WAMP on a Windows 7 [32bit] laptop, I have successfully installed WordPress and have everything running locally.

    My problem comes in when I try to view the wordpress site from another computer.

    I am on a router and I have changed the settings in the router to forward port 80 to the laptop and also forwarded port 21 for FTP as well. In my case, not giving any secure information away, the laptop is attached to the router as 192.168.1.105.
    I registered a free account with DynDns and used their free DNS Host service and selected my IP address to able to forward outside requests to the wordpress site.

    When the DynDns host service is activated, I can now see the wordpress site but it looks nothing like the local version, needs to be synced? I have not made any changes to the wordpress site, it is basically out of the box.
    The weird thing is that when I type in the address to the site it takes me to the WAMP dashboard then I can click on my site, but it still looks very basic, no images or formatting what so ever.

    I have tried changing the URL settings in the general setting in the wordpress dashboard, but then it gives me all sorts of other issues, such as URL not found or the dreaded 404 URL not found code.

    Any suggestions on my settings? Any help will do.

    Here is a screenshot of how the sites differ:

    and after the DynDns is active and viewing through a different computer:

    Thank you in advance,
