Also, it exposes your personal server to the world, which you probably aren't ready for just yet if you're just getting started. You simply need to go to your Windows Firewall settings, under the Control Panel, and add an exception at port 80 for WAMP.

It's similar (slightly easier) under XP. Just google "windows firewall exceptions"
Hope this helps.
