    Hi folks,

    I’m having an issue with wordpress where I can login fine locally but when I attempt to login from an external source, my work PC for example, the login simply times out with the error connection reset by peer.

    So far I’ve tried the following to remedy the issue:
    – I’ve tried a few different external sources and various browsers
    – I’ve donwloaded WordPress 3.0 and setup a new schema and site
    – I’ve adjusted the NTFS permissions for my site and given ‘Everyone’ full control

    My setup is as follows:
    – Windows 7 Ultimate
    – IIS 7.5
    – PHP 5.3.2 VC9 Thread Safe (FastCGI Module)
    – MySQL 5.1.48-community

    Thanks in advance,

    – Elu

    In my php.ini file I tried setting:
    session.save_path = “D:\PHP\session”
    upload_tmp_dir = “D:\PHP\tmp”

    I gave ‘everyone’ full control over the PHP directory and sub directories. I confirmed the settings had taken effect using phpinfo() and I restarted IIS for good measure. Unfortunately this hasn’t helped at all.

    Does anyone have any ideas that I might try?

    I’ve tried completely disabling the Windows firewall and my virus scanner but this hasn’t helped. Does anyone know why I might be having this login issue?

    I’ve tried editing the hosts file and uncommenting:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    unfortunately this hasn’t helped. Anyone else seen this problem before?
