Wordpress pages are not being recognized after my databae import

I'm transferring a wordpress site to another host and I'm having some issues that hopefully someone can help with.

I successfully transferred all my wordpress files over to the new host - that was not a problem there. My problem lies with the sql database import.

I imported the sql file into the new database and updated the config.php file to reflect the new database information.

Heres the problem - None of the pages are being recognized. I'm getting 404's. The database is showing that all the posts are in the database yet the are not displaying on the user (php) end.

Please ask questions if you need more information. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Also, check your permalink ... and hoepage links etc

BINGO! Thanks guys, that worked.
