Answer 1

If you're trying to access your local XAMPP from another computer on your local network, you'll need to use a local ip address. Likely something like 192.168.x.x. (on a Windows box, you can type 'ipconfig' into a command prompt to get this IP)

If you're trying to access from outside your local network, you'll need to port-forward port 80 through your router to the computer that is running your XAMPP.
