 * Hey all,
 * I appear to be having a strange problem with my installation.
 * I am running WordPress on a Solaris 10 x86_64. I am running it in one of 3 zones
   and loopback mounting the /var/apache2/2.2 to the Web Server zone.
 * When I access the blog from a machine inside my network it word perfectly. All
   of the theme formats look great. But, when I try to access it from the internet
   side of the fire wall, I get the text but none of the theme formats are used.
 * At first I thought it was a permissions problem but I opened the permissions 
   on the file system completely. No joy.
 * Have anyone experienced this behavior? If so, what was the solution?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * DHM

 * disable your firewall – when people try uploading images to ftp while firewall
   is on, they don’t make it through, could be same issue

 * What is your WordPress blog url? Are you using localhost?

 * Sorry for the long delay. Life has a way of burning hours quickly. LOL
 * OK, I disabled my firewall and that didn’t fix the problem. I do, however, have
   additional information.
 * Iridiax, the blog URL is [http://musil-clan.com/wordpress/](http://musil-clan.com/wordpress/)
 * I downloaded firebug to my browser and to a browser on the outside. It appears
   that WordPress is using the NAT’d IP address as the URL in both cases.
 * i.e.
 * [Danimal’s Blog](http://192.168.1.200/wordpress/)
 * As I said, this is the same both inside the firewall and outside the firewall.
   It is almost like it has been hard coded during the installation. (I have checked
   so I know better than that. 🙂 ) I don’t know if this helps at all.
 * checked…
    /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf which points to my router.
