preview url

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,
I just hosted my codeigniter site on a server. But my domain is not pointing to the server yet.

Meanwhile inorder to view the site via a preview URL like http://123.123.123.123/~username/ what should be done?

I changed the base url to http://123.123.123.123/~username/ But my stylesheets, links, images etc do not work.

Please advise.

Thanks.
