How to access my localhost from another PC in LAN?

Go To StackoverFlow.com

12

I am using WAMP server to run my website. I am using Windows 7.

I created LAN between 2 PC and I want to access my localhost from the second PC.
Note that I am not using Internet connection so I couldn't use IP address.

Please, give me your suggestion.

Computers on a LAN still get IP addresses, the Internet doesn't really have anything to do with it. Unless you're using a crossover cable or something. We need more details to answer your question - Madbreaks 2012-04-04 20:47

You have to edit httpd.conf and find this line: Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Then write down your desired IP you set for LAN. Don't use automatic IP.
e.g.: Listen 192.168.137.1:80

I used 192.167.137.1 as my LAN IP of Windows 7. Restart Apache and enjoy sharing.

IP can be any LAN or WAN IP address. But you'll want to set your firewall connection allow it.

Device connection with webserver pc can be by LAN or WAN (i.e by wifi, connectify, adhoc, cable, mypublic wifi etc)

You should follow these steps:

  1. Go to the control panel
  2. Inbound rules > new rules
  3. Click port > next > specific local port > enter 8080 > next > allow the connection>
  4. Next > tick all (domain, private, public) > specify any name
  5. Now you can access your localhost by any device (laptop, mobile, desktop, etc).
  6. Enter ip address in browser url as 123.23.xx.xx:8080 to access localhost by any device.

This IP will be of that device which has the web server.

Actualy you don't need an internet connection to use ip address. Each computer in LAN has an internal IP address you can discover by runing

ipconfig /all

in cmd.

You can use the ip address of the server (probabily something like 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x) to access the website remotely.

If you found the ip and still cannot access the website, it means WAMP is not configured to respond to that name ( what did you call me? 192.168.0.3? That's not my name. I'm Localhost ) and you have to modify ....../apache/config/httpd.conf

Listen *:80
