Tip on installing WordPress on a Network Solutions hosted site

I just set up WordPress on a Network Solutions hosted site for my step-mom’s new interior design business. As always, the installation was a cinch except for, as always, one thing that takes an hour to figure out. Namely, Network Solutions is part of that 1% the “handy installation guide” refers to that doesn’t use “localhost” as the value for DB_name.

For anyone else who has this problem, the solution is:

DB_name equals the IP address of your Network Solutions site.
