Allow external connections (network)

Hi,

Just wondering how it would be possible for someone on my network to access my www directory and view the files as PHP files?
I don't really know where to start...

Cheers,

Joe

Firstly, put all your codes in folder(s) and put folder(s) in www folder in wamp folder. From pc1, when clicking localhost, you should see your folder(s) in Project section, and click on folder(s) you should see the list of files (codes) in that folder or see it runs if you have index file in folder(s). From pc2, when type localhost in browser, should see the same. If pc2 is wireless, don't forget to enable it from router cause some router have it off by default. To access from outside your network, you should have at least a domain name as well as DNS service.
Some sample here:
bnguyen.jlbn.com
testsite.jlbn.com
Have fun

Hi,

I tried localhost but it didnt work, so I went to cmd>ipconfig, and tried the IP Address there - it worked! I am on wireless so I don't know if that method would work on everyone's computer...

Thanks for the help,

Joe
