That is perfectly possible. You can create virtual hosts using dummy domain names, for example mysite1, mysite2 and so on. The other computers in your home network need to have an entry for each of the dummy domain names in their hosts file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts which points the dummy domain to the computer running wampserver using its internal IP address.

You will need to "Put Online" your wamp server.

This process changes your httpd.conf.

After an install, wamp ( for security reasons ) sets the following

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
So that the server can only be accessed from the machine it is running on.


When you put it online it changes this to
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all


You may want to manually change that after wamp has made its change to something like
Allow from 192.168.1

Or whatever your subnet is.

Hope this helps
