    Thank you SO much. That worked like a charm. I knew it was something simple that I just didn’t understand. Brockangelo is the man!!!

    Thanks for the quick response brockangelo. Sadly, my “Sharing and Security” window does not have a “Security” tab. I tried changing the read only settings by right clicking on the folder, but alas even when I try to change it and click “Apply” it doesn’t work. I have tried making it read only using attrib and the command line, but this doesn’t work either.

    I don’t think, however, that this is the problem…for example, the images that the HTML file refers to are “http://localhost/wordpress/etc” Because “localhost” for one machine is different than “localhost” for another, this is why the images are not showing up. Maybe I just don’t know how wordpress works and this is hopeless.

    You understand what I’m trying to do, right? I want to set up a wordpress blog one one computer and access it from all of the other computers on my office network, so that we can collaborate here within the office. I NEVER intend on uploading this to the Internet.

    I have set up the xampplite, Apache, and MySQL servers like the tutorial said, and the WordPress page looks fine on this computer, but when I access it from another computer (by navigating to “//(thiscomputername)/wordpress”) it shows up without images or anything.

    What in the world am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for everything by the way. I am impressed at how the WP community responds so quickly and is so helpful.

    Thank you for your quick response. I have read the permissions page you linked to, and I am confused about one thing: how can I set permissions if the files are located on this computer (i.e., and not on a server)?

    I have gone through and made every file in the wordpress folder read and write capable, but that doesn’t seem to help at all.
