1) Open the file .htaccess located in folder www

Comment out the three lines so they look like this:

 

#Order Deny,Allow

#Deny from all

#Allow from 127.0.0.1

 

This opens your server up for external access.

 

2) Check you PC IP address as follows:

 

Start > run > type in cmd and click OK

In the window that pops up type in ipconfig /all

 

Look for your IP address it will look something like this: 192.168.1.6

 

Note the value:

 

3) On the remote machine type this value in for example http://192.168.1.6

That will display your server on the remote machine.

To access my server on the other computers on my network i didnt have to change anything just had to type in Http://192.168.*.* and it came up right away...

Then those codes in the .htaccess must have been commented or something... hmmm

Probably your .htaccess is being defined. Check if it is true?

you also access it by password (trhough your htaccess file), not by locking to ips. search the net for htaccess+password - there is a lot out there (+tools).
