Page displays fine locally but not externally... WAMP + Wordpress

Hey guys I just installed WAMP and Wordpress and everything seems fine and I can access the page fine locally. But when I use my ip address and try to access the webpage from a different computer. It looks like it only partially downloads and displays the page.

Here it is locally on the machine I installed my WAMP on.

and here is what it looks like when I try to access that page from a different computer.

Am I mistaken in thinking that WAMP+Wordpress is more than just local testing for a wordpress blog?

Thanks

You need to put wamp online to make it available from lan and wan.
You also have to open apache port (80 by default) in your router/firewall.

you should setup vh for a local domain and use that local domain to setup wordpress in order to access w/i lan

Thanks for the help guys but I actually found the answer on the wordpress forums. I needed to change my wp-settings in wordpress from localhost to my ip address and it loaded everything.

then your lan wordpress users has to memory your lan ip which is very inconvenient compare to using local domain setup w/ vh
