MyBB Version : 1.6.8
PHP Version : 5.1.6
SQL Engine : MySQL 5.0.77
My Server has 2 NICs:
1 for LAN (192.168.1.x)
1 for WAN (182.x.x.x)
When accessing MyBB over LAN, everything works great.
When accessing MyBB over WAN, CSS does not load.
Another observation:
MyBB > Admin everything works great over LAN & WAN
MyBB > Admin > Configuration > General Configuration > Board URL
I have experimented keeping this field blank & populating it with the LAN IP of MyBB. No help.
Any help, resolution or pointers are welcome.
Thx

Issue is on your end with your overcomplicated setup.
You don't put board URL blank or LAN IP. You use the BOARD URL!!!!

I fail to understand how is my setup "overcomplicated".
Anyways, I am seeking help, suggestions. Prevent any judgements and save our world from unwanted carbon emissions.

As mentioned previous, I have tried with blank and putting board url (with LAN IP). Sorry if I was not ambiguous.
Let me rephrase my query:
How can I setup MyBB to be able to access it over 2 different IP addresses without breaking the CSS.
Thx & Rgds,

Use a host name in your board url; you can configure the DNS of your LAN to resolve it to the LAN IP while outside the LAN it will resolve to your public IP. Voila, it will work for both LAN and WAN.

This is a good solution and will work. I shall try this.
Meanwhile, anything which can be done to enable MyBB server CSS to requests coming from any source ?
Why do you need to access the site via LAN? What's wrong with having it WAN configured?
And that's why you are over complicating things. MyBB is a website software not meant as an internal network software.

And what about WAN IP? Or an actual URL? It's a Board_URL config not a BOARD_IP config.

The url to your forums.
Include the http://. Do NOT include a trailing slash.
So of course parts don't work...you're not following the instructions.

If I am sitting in my office and my server is located in the same office, it makes logical sense to "me" to access the server over the lan than over the wan.

If this is true, then its my bad to start this thread!!
Fortunately, I live in the world where applications are developed to simply work, immaterial of where they are installed or from where they are accessed.

There you go again... judgmental!!
Pls get your facts straight before commenting.
Read this:

You can set the site to run from WAN but change your hosts file to point to the LAN IP.

A URL is NOT an IP address. It's not.
And yes I'm judging you. I'm helping you too. You decide what's more important to you. Arguing or listening.

It does "simply work" if you simply follow instructions. Enter the URL of the site. Done.
