Hi,
I'm just starting out building a Wiki and I'm a little confused. I would like to be able to access my Wiki both within my home network and externally over the internet. If I set $wgServer in LocalSettings.php to " http://192.168.1.100" my intranet works as expected. Entering "192.168.1.100" resolves to http://192.168.1.100/wiki/Main_Page and everything works as expected complete with the vector theme. Obviously this poses a problem if I try to access my wiki over the intranet as it can't connect to 192.168.1.100.
if I set $wgServer to my registered domain name and try and access the wiki externally everything works as expected but if i access the wiki internally I have two different issues. If I try to use my domain name this ends up pointing to my router admin page so the resolved name i.e with "/wiki/Main_Page" appended does not exist on my router . If I use the i.p address directly i.e http://192.168.1.100/wiki/Main_Page the web page is displayed but I loose the vector theme. i,e it just has very basic formatting. Navigating seems to work fine and images are displayed I just don't get any nice formatting.
Sorry if this has rambled on but I didn't quite know hot to put it eloquently. What configuration do I need to get my wiki to display properly when accessed both internally and externally via the internet? I presume if I could move my routers admin page away from port 80 this might solve the issue but this isn't an option on my router.
Thanks
It's called port forwarding almost all routers should have that

I've got a similar setup and I just checked I don't have that variable set

I have a port forwarding rule on my router which forwards port 80 to port 80 on the machine running my wiki.192.168.1.100

Interesting! if I don't set $wgServer I get the same behaviour if I access the wiki internally and via the intranet. Unfortunately I don't get the vector theme in either though.

I'm not sure if I fully recommend it, but I've gotten around this by adding a conditional in my LocalSettings.php to set $wgServer to the ip if $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] looks like my local network. Probably safe enough for temporary access.
$wgServer is used to construct urls, like the css links, so that's why your skin will mostly go away if it's not set correctly.

Try $wgServer = "http://$_SERVER%5BHTTP_HOST]"; This will automatically get you whatever it is in the "host" field of the http request header.
