    Hello Friends,

    I have installed WAMP all services running and everything is fine. But the problem is I am buliding an intranet and want users in my LAN to be able to access the site using the IP address.

    Say the IP address of the m/c where WAMP is installed is 192.168.1.10 and I have my site located in a folder /WAMP/WWW/website1

    When on the server I access the site by typing http://localhost/webiste1 and http://127.0.0.1/website1 it works perfectly.
    But if I put http://192.168.1.10/website1 from the same server that is the local machine it does not show my site. instead it gives me error:

    Network Error (tcp_error)

    A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
    The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.


    The same error message comes up when any users in LAN try to access the website with IP address i.e. http://192.168.1.10/website1

    Any little help or direction to resolve the issue will be greatly appreciated.

    find Listen directive in httpd.conf and edit it to be *:80
    Don't forget to restart apache

    It is may be Apache or firewall problem. May be local firewall blocking incoming connection to 80 port.
