I am not able to connect to the wamp server from the internet. Localhost works fine I am able to access that. Firewalls are allowing the program, I am able to access the server from a different port, but I am not wanting to have to have a port number on the end of my address. my router is forwarding port 80 to the host computer. I have contacted my ISP provider and they said they do not block port 80. Why am I not able to access the server on port 80?

In order to access from other PC's no matter within or outside your LAN, 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/Website/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
