Local network issues:
Wampserver on Win7: I cannot access it from a Win8.1 machine even though it's set "Online" on W7
but i can ping the W7server from W8.1SL (not pro)
I tried many things:
(I can access the server from another W7 machine)

W8.1 firewall off, no antivirus, changed from publc to private.
In W7 server http.conf I tried various things:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Order Deny,Allow
Require all denied
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
# Require all denied
#Require all granted
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Allow from ::1
# Allow from all
# Require local
Require all granted
Satisfy Any
</Directory>

No luck yet, please help!

Ok, I found the problem on W7 server firewall:
I had to add exception for both public and private networks for Apache on

Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed Programs
I added a tick to allow public+private to access Apache
