Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network – how to?

by

Localhost is just a name given for the loopback, eg its like referring to yourself as “me” ..

To view it from other computers, chances are you need only do http://192.168.1.56 or http://myPcsName if that doesnt work, there is a chance that there is a firewall running on your computer, or the httpd.conf is only listening on 127.0.0.1
