title: XAMPP access over a LAN with Win XP
body: <p>I have a development computer and a testing (http://testing/) server set up on my home LAN.  I need to be able to set up the same file directory structure on the testing computer as is on my hosted account.  I am using the /testing/ computer to stage development prior to making it public.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Dreamweaver 8 as my dev platform and I am having a hard time reconciling the local vs. testing vs. remote server environments to allow for the same addressing of images, files, etc. on both the testing and remote (hosted) machines.  If I use the "../dir/sub-dir/filename.php" it works only on the testing server (LAN), whereas when I use the "/dir/sub-dir/filename.php" it only works on the remote (hosted) machine.</p>
  
  <p>I need to configure XAMPP to allow the testing machine to utilize the same addressing structure as the remote (hosted) machine does.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  (Please don't tell me to dump Dreamweaver).</p>
