    OK. here is what my environment looks like..

    I have a webserver in my office that i built using Ubuntu. I installed LAMP and phpmyadmin on it. I created my DB for wordpress 2.6. I installed wordpress and everything works great LAN side. In the wordpress dashboard(i hope someone here knows what this is) i have my wordpress URL and blog URL set to 192.168.0.225 with Http in front of it

    Now in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder resides a file named 000-default. I imagine that is the virtual hosts file. I have edited that file under root user to say that the root document is /var/www/wordpress

    LAN side, if i go to any machine with in my LAN and open a browser and i type 192.168.0.225

    I get my main wordpress page. Meta login works and everything.

    Now here is the issue. i have 14 usable IP's(/28 mask)The router i am using is 66.60.115.62(this is our server testing router) and its LAn is 192.168.0.10. I ping syncrasy.blogsite.org and 100%. I also do a traceroute to make sure my server has the right default GW info.

    In the wordpress dashboard i change the URL for both entries to syncrasy.blogsite.org which is registered to point at 66.60.115.62

    i set my servers default GW to be 192.168.0.10

    and i restart the server. Now i cant even access it locally. 192.168.0.225 does not work any more and neither does typing the domain name and or public IP work.

    Something is a miss and i can not seem to figure it out. Wordpress told me to go to a diff forum because they are only word press issues which i am not sure this is.

    Thanx.
