WampServer

This topic has been raised before but none of them have answered my problems XD

I want people to access my websites on my home machine. I have got my IP address from a whatismyip website and when I type it in it says 401 Unauthorized Access. I then read somewhere on here about enabling Port 80. So I done a quick Google search on how to do that. I went into my Windows Firewall and added a port. Name of Web Server (TCP 80) with port number of 80.

This is now added and enabled and I still got the message. I checked WAMP and it is online.

Can anyone help?

Check Setup LAN and Worldwide Access on my websites

Yup, done that. But it still says it. But it I forgot to mention above that it asks for a username and password XD

If you don't have any .htaccess in your websites' folder, you probably didn't enable port in router properly

What are .htaccess

Ive seen it inside my wamp folder inside the apache module. I configured the Port exactly as that guide said. My last resort now is uninstalling and reinstalling wamp5 and then using the instructions again.

Instead uninstall, you should take out that .htaccess file
