 WordPress import (using the wordpress-importer plugin) does not work
 correctly if both machines are on the same private network. Text content
 imports, but all media imports fail. I have traced the problem down to a
 test that is done in wp-includes/http.php. Though i am not deeply familiar
 with the WordPress code base, the test seems unnecessary to me, and if it
 is commented out then the import function will behave as expected.

 I have included a patch against WordPress 3.6.1 that demonstrates where
 the problematic test is and resolves the issue.
