the easiest solution is to figure out what the IP address of the machine running apache is (open the command prompt on that machine and type ipconfig), then use that ip address in the url of the machine accessing it, ie:
http://192.168.1.1/whateverpage.…
... where 192.168.1.1 is whatever the IP address happens to be.
keep in mind that if you are using DHCP to get IP addresses on your local network, the address may change when you reboot the machine.
- Thanks, man. works like a charm and much faster than using /localhost/. I don't suppose there's a way to speed up the domain mapping to IP instead of having to re-enter the dynamic IP each time. I have to change config files for root directories when browsing with a dynamic IP.era4O4
