Accessing PHPMyAdmin on local network

Hi all, I have Apache, PHPMyAdmin, etc setup here on a server (Win2K) I can access and use phymyadmin fine from the server pc, but not from other computers on the network (WinXP). I can login to phpmyadmin from the other pcs, but once logged in I can't do anything because all the links, etc point to localhost. Obviously localhost isn't going to work from any computer other then the server. Does anyone know how to get around this? I have browsed through the config.inc.php file and changed the localhost in there to the servers specific IP address without any luck, any help would be appreciated, thankyou.

Change the absolute path setting in the config file of phpMyAdmin to the network address - i.e. 10.0.1.5 or something, so that it can be understood and accessable from all machines on the network.

Had tried this already, but tried it again, and again without success, this is the line I changed.
$cfgPmaAbsoluteUri = '
http://serversIP/phpMyAdmin/';
The same problem persists. Might something else be interferring with it? WinMySqlAdmin for example?

canonical name is off, all urls, links etc, once in phpmyadmin still come up pointing to localhost.
