    Hi, I can connect to my apache http server on my laptop where it's hosted. However on my other computer on the same network I can't connect to the apache server page

    The ip address (I believe it's not the one that my isp gave me)

    is 192.168.*.***

    Any help?

    ps: I can't connect to my ext(extended?) ip

    Thanks

    You won't be able to connect to your external ip address from within your network. To connect to your server within the network you will have to use the local ip address (192.168.*.*) and if your outside your network then you can use the external ip address (if you have port forwarding and everything on your router and firewall configured correctly)

    Also if you're accessing the server from your laptop where it's installed then you can use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) to access the server.

    That's right, you can connect via 127.0.0.1 or type from your browser's address bar http://localhost

    I can connect to my server on the hosted computer. But on another computer on my network I still can't. I have my firewall disabled and port 80 forwarded.

    I connect to my server on the hosted computer from 192.168.*.***

    I connect on the other computer with the same ip address but it fails to connect.
