Hi everyone,
I need help.
I'm running wampserver on my desktop. & testing Joomla in desktop. my laptop is connected through LAN (not using any roughter).

Now I want to browse the joomla (on desktop) from my laptop.

I've tried [10.19.***.***] #my desktop's ip
but it says Forbidden...

how can I do this? plz help

I'm using windows 7 in my laptop & in my desktop i'm using xp.

You need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple Domains/Websites/IP's and even you have only 1 Domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; w/ VH, other PC's, no matter w/i or outside LAN, can access/see websites/contents on your wamp PC. If dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide

To setup Access, follow this
