Localhost forbidden

Anyone have an idea as to why I cant access anything on wamp? No matter what I go to (locally), whether it be localhost, a vhost, phpmyadmin, it all comes up as a 403 forbidden error. This is locally on my machine, wamp is not online, as the install is for testing, not live sites. The odd thing is that it's happening on both my desktop pc and my laptop.

No matter within or outside LAN access, 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
