I have installed this piece of software - [www.wampserver.com]

It runs a php/mysql server on my local machine. I have successfully installed wordpress and it is running locally - woohoo! I can view my development site here - [localhost] or [10.23.5.151]

I am networked to my designers PC - i can ping his machine. I would like him to be able to see the development site, but obviously its my localhost so neither of the addresses above work. Is there any way I can get him to view my "localhost"?

Thanks!

You need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple Domains/Websites/IP's and even you have only 1 Domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; if dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide

To setup Access, follow this
