hi, i am a newbie here in wamp.

Problem:
i tested my wordpress in Localhost, it runs pefectly and displayed the wordpress site perfectly. but when i tried to open the site via LAN or internet. it display only text, no images or css. it all the contents stack up like a ladder on the left side of the page. it won't display properly.

check it out at [starkmediagroup.dyndns.org]

What i did:
1) installed wamp on a different drive E: (custom installation, E:\wamp\) not on drive C: (default installation)
2) i change the default port of wamp from 80 to 81 (httpd.conf)
3) i port forward 81 in my router
4) unblock port 81 in my firewall
5) I'm using Win 2003 server

can anyone help me? thank you very much in advance.

WordPress needs to be installed on the address that it is going to be used on. During install it record its domain name and then uses that internally.

There is a way to change this but I forget how its done, look it up on a wordpress site

Or Export all the data, delete the install, and then reinstall from startmediagroup.dyndns.org rather than localhost.
