I've found a table in the database called IEI_IMG and it seems to me that all I need to do here is do a search and replace on the NewURL field and replace the sitename.com with IP address of the local machine on which it is running. Can anyone confirm that this is all I need to do to point the URL's for all the imported images to a new path on my local machine? Or will I have to single-step through every thread and replace every single URL?

I suggest to add your domain to the hosts file and access your local site as if it was remote.
