 * Replacing the ip address for the localhost in the Options > General worked (e.
   g. http//your-ip/WPname instead of http//localhost/WPname), Thanks All.
 * Next, since the router is a dhcp server and randomly (dynamically) assigns the
   internal local ip address which can change at any time (e.g. on router reboot
   after reconfiguration of network machines and/or other hardware), which would
   be the best approach to solving this part of the configuration? Options:
 * 1. Through ip based virtualhost in the Apache httpd configuration file, e.g.
 * #NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.XX
 * #<VirtualHost 192.168.1.xx>
    ServerName Whatever DocumentRoot C:/WhereverApacheResides/
   htdocs #</VirtualHost>
 * or
 * 2. Through name based virtualhost in the Apache httpd configuration file, e.g.
 * #NameVirtualHost *:80
 * #<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName Whatever DocumentRoot C:/WhereverApacheResides/
   htdocs #</VirtualHost>
 * or
 * 3. Some other solution?
 * Note: Directives commented out, just in case!!! For use they would need to be
   uncommented. (For other users getting started).
 * Again, Thanks in Advance
