Installing WAMP on a shared drive

    Hi,

    Unfortuently we cannot afford a server so we've opted to have two computers (computer A and computer B) with a shared drive mapped to a network drive (I think its X:) via a network router.

    I've successfully installed php, mysql and apache onto computer B, and I've made a custom virtual host for phpmyadmin so that it maps properly (ie: it says phpmyadmin.localhost) and this is the way I want to do all client work so it is ready to be ported over to the live server.

    So, on computer B WAMP works fine. No problem.

    However, I (on computer A) am having real difficulty seeing localhost from computer B. We want to work from the same drive, same WAMP, same windows hosts file/settings... and at some point I want to install tortoise SVN.

    Last week somebody mentioned allowing Apache to be accessible via network from Windows Firewall and it worked perfectly.

    I can see http://192.168.15.101/ which is the IP address of my friends machine.

    However, I can't see http://phpmyadmin.192.168.15.101/ which, in theory should work fine.

    I can't see http://192.168.15.101/phpmyadmin unless my friend is logged in.

    I understand that the .conf file has to be set up properly, but I do not know if I am doing it right...

    I really am not sure what I am doing...

    All I want to do is make Computer A and Computer B look and work from the same versions of WAMP. Is this possible?

    Many thanks.
