Anyone know if it's possible to get permalinks working on a server without a domain name, only the numerical IP address?
I installed the site after editing my hosts file (here's how: http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-leopard/), to match the IP address to what the domain name will be after the DNS is switched and the homepage looks OK.
If I disable custom permalinks, and choose default I can see secondary pages, but when I enable custom permalinks I'm getting a Not Found error on secondary pages, category pages, etc.
My successfully edited my .htaccess file as well but still no dice.
