How to test WordPress with domain set to your own gateway

Almost everyone use DNS, some part of webmasters or network administrators use DDNS. Domains are very important things nowadays. Sometimes it happens that someone has got WordPress run under his own computer. Some people run home servers and they run WordPress blogs under these servers. Some part of these people have got one big problem – they can’t test WordPress from computers from theirs own network. Probably you, my Reader, are this some kind of person.

WordPress uses special target. It has to be written in database and to be constant. You can’t set this value to localhost or host of your network, because WordPress is in trouble with this kind of settings I mean it doesn’t work correctly to people from other networks because of it. But when you set this value to your domain, you will be redirected to your gateway (router) every time you want to go to your WordPress from your own network.
