I'm trying to install bbPress on a local Intranet Server (Its on a local network for my employees to use for collaboration.) And I'm getting caught on Step 3. When i put in any email address it says that the Email Address "Appears to be invalid" and doesn't let me continue, My main email ends in .co.uk which i thought might have been the problem but even .com and .info addresses dont work. Any ideas? (Using the latest version with XAMPP / Apache)

I saw something about a PHP function checkdnsrr being disabled in the latest build. That function is used in the bbPress function bb_verify_email.
I think the problem is that checkdnsrr is not available on Windows, and I'm not sure if it's available on XAMPP. Here is how they fixed it in the latest trunk build:

Here is the original bug report:

Thanks! Uploading the modified .php file (You can download it in .php via scrolling to the bottom of the trac page and clicking "Plain Text") fixed the problem.
