PHP Testing within Workgroup

Hi All

I have a local Workgroup with 5 PCs connected at home, with one of them acting as the server that has Apache, MySQL and PHP installed. I recently added Joomla to play around with and upon trying to access my server machine from one of the other PCs, the webpage loads ok but none of the formatting is correct. Like the style sheets are missing. It looks fine on the server machine

The server PC is XP Pro running Apache 2.2.3/PHP 5.1.4 and MySQL 5.0.11

Do I have a setting that may not be right? I am new to all of this so please be gentle

Thanks

I guess the problem is that you don't specify the paths correct for the css includes (<link rel="stylesheet"....)

You must set them to paths that are accessible from the web, not from your pc.

Thanks Nikolas...I will have to look at the code. You would think that since they are Joomla templates that they would good to go....I appreciate the suggestion

It's more about how you access the page, if you install joomla on your localhost it have to work local, I f you need to access this site via your local network, your localhost needs the right setup... most of the time its easier and takes less time to run the application on some shared webhosting...
