Setting Up httpd.conf

Hi,

I just installed WAMPServer and it looks great for testing on my local machine. I'm on a network behind a firewall and want to let others my network see my localhost machine. So if my machine is ws-andrew, I want others inside to be able to goto [ws-andrew]. By default, WAMPServer does not allow this. I want to make sure I change the right info...

I found this in httpd.conf under <Directory "C:/wamp/www">:

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1


And I changed it to this...

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Allow from ws-andrew
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Is this the best way to let others in my network see my localhost?

Thanks,
Andrew

Well, your computer name refers to your local ip address.
you would need to use your ip address to let other browse your server.

Thanks, but the "Need help? Check out my WAMP User Manual/Guide here!" part of your sig has no link in it. Just underline and strong tags...
