I posted a similar question earlier today but this question is clearer.
I want to locally develop my Wordpress websites (on my Mac) and test them in Internet Explorer (6,7,8) on Windows XP.
I can get the MAMP welcome screen to show in Windows XP, so I know VMWare is doing it's thing.
The local URL for my site (on my Mac) is:
URL (http://d3creative:8888/)
But the local URL under VMware/Internet Explorer is:
URL (http://192.168.2.1:8888/d3creative/)
This is the only way I can get it to show up, problem is all the CSS styles are referencing the local Mac URL (http://d3creative:8888/)
So understandably the CSS isn't showing up.
Is there a way to tell Windows that "http://192.168.2.1:8888/d3creative/" should equal "http://d3creative:8888/"
I've tried editing the "hosts" file within in Windows XP and I've rebooted after making any changes, but nothing is working.
My software:
- MAMP Pro (v1.8.2)
- Wordpress (v2.8.6)
- Windows XP (SP3)
- Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8)
Any help would be much appreciated.
