Any Magento experts?

I need to copy a Magento site to run locally for some dev and testing. So far I've copied the files and imported the database, changed;

web/unsecure/base_url
web/secure/base_url

To point to the local IP address.

The front page of the site works perfectly but every link throws a 404 and no access to the backend.

mod_rewrite is enabled and the .htaccess is identical to the live version. Can't quite figure out what's going wrong, any help appreciated.

EDIT: Fixed it.

Gotta get this done

Nearly there, now that it's all up and running I can fix the main problem I'm looking at then make the changes to the live site. Then relax...

Besides this is fun, still can't believe people pay me to do this

Can't help with this thing of which you speak - but Happy Birthday anyway!

That is an identical symptom to what happens if your host bars use of .htaccess.

Not saying that's what it is, but worth a check....

I keep reading this as "magneto".

Which is a bit strange really, since I don't know much about magnetos either.
