Access localhost (WamP)Remotely

houssam_ballout · 04-14-2008, 11:33 AM

Hello all,
the wamp on my computer is running, and if I go the browser and type localhost it run as recommended.
I type my IP in my browser and it return me the page HTTP403 forbidden.
Can I type my IP in the browser of some mate on the network so that he should be able what I am viewing?
Thanks

No. it will depend on how you setup your website.There are sites that ask you how to access, be it via http://IP or http://localhost.
I was running wamp to locally (running a CMS) and the way my setup was could be access via IP not localhost

Http://yourIP will work on any computer on a local network, but if you try http://localhost on someone elses computer it won't work
