I want to host a website on my local network. For some reason I can only access wamp in my local computer.
I have 2 computers in my network. Both computer A and computer B have wamp server installed. when I type the ip address of computer A from computer B I am able to connect to it. But when I do it the other way around it does not work! In other words when I type the ip address of computer B from computer A the browsers says: server at 192.168.0.120 is taking to long to respond.
Things that I have done in order to solve the problem on computer B: (remember I want to connect to computer B from computer A)
1) turn off the firewall
2) Uninstall wamp and reinstall it.
3) turn off the anti-virus.
4) turn off windows firewall
5) Place wamp online and after putting it online restart all services
I have not chaged any ini file plus I have uninstall it and install it again so why is it not possible to connect to it!? I have used wamp for the last 3 years and I have never experienced this.
Also wamp is the only web server that I have installed on this computer. I don't have IIS nor any other web server installed on my computer.

Right click on My Computer icon -> Properties Go to Device Manager Click on View menu and chooseShow hidden devices Now from the list choose Non-Plug and Play devices Double click HTTP -> go to Driver For Type choose Disabled Restart your computer After your computer boots up you should be able to start up WAMP server.
The simplest way to get round this is: The simplest of these is to use the IP Address of the PC running the WAMPServer(Apache) server and a specific port number. So thats a different port number for each of our sites we want to use from a phone.
Install and start the WAMP server. Make sure that your wamp icon is green, if it's not green then it's not active. Open any browser and type localhost or 127.0. 0.1 on the address bar and you will see your WAMP server dashboard page.
Turn off your firewall for port 80 from any address. Turn off 443 if you need https (SSL) access. Open the configuration file (http.conf) and find the lines that say:
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Change them to read
Allow from all
Restart the wampserver. It will now work. Enjoy!!

Perhaps your Apache is bounded to localhost only. Look in your apache configuration file for:
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
If you found it, replace it with:
Listen 80
Then restart Apache.
