  Site Not Displaying Properly Reply Contact In actuality, it is probably a configuration that I have missed that is causing my frustration. I am running Server 2008 Enterprise in a lab environment and have installed IIS as one of the roles. I then downloaded the platform that allows easy download and installation of various apps / site technologies (Drupal, WordPress, et cetera) and then installed WordPress. Installation went easy enough and I can login to the installation on the local machine and view the site with no errors. However, if I go a different machine in the lab and type in the site, it brings up a skeleton view of the page - no images, css, or anything, just text and hyperlinks. At this point in the lab, there is no firewall running (not even Windows Firewall) as I need to know and understand what to open up and what not to. If I cannot get the site working properly without a firewall, I surely will not after adding a firewall! In advance, I appreciate any help you can provide!

  Re: Site Not Displaying Properly Reply Contact I would download fiddler (http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler2/version.asp) on the remote machine, run and see what status some of the images, css files. the other idea that comes to mind is you have absolute links to http://localhost vs. relative links "/" causing the broken images, css files.

  Re: Site Not Displaying Properly Reply Contact Hi, jwblair: if I go a different machine in the lab and type in the site, it brings up a skeleton view of the page - no images, css, or anything, just text and hyperlinks. Could you paste the url you use in the different machine to visit to WordPress site? is it with the same domain name.for example: In Local Machine,  you use http://localhost， while in the different machine you use http://Ip Address/ , and the problem occurred, is it right? If yes, I doubt that this issue is due to WordPress domain setting.
