You need to call specific IP of that system and also bypass that IP address from your browser else 127.0.01 calls your system and wordpress open up without any css.

Hey, I hate being a noob to things –
I have done the local install, it works. I’m trying to now access it from another machine on the lan (its actually the machine hosting the VM with apache/mysql/wp on it).
Questions:
could you include some specific, precise directions, like:
an example of “define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’)” line in the case of a lan accessible install etc etc
also;
is it necessary for me to create a new install? Or can I modify that line on an existing install.
Thanks a bunch
