First thing you must start your Apache Web Server. Then if you put all your .php files in a folder in root directory then to access your web from other computer can be done with typing this : http://yourcomputername/foldername Regards, Shandy dani buciu <dani_buciu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: joshi_amn, I understand that you installed wamp on your computer, and you are connected to other computers trough a lan. If you want the other users on your network to acces your local website, they must type this: http://IPadress (ex: http://192.168.1.15) to find out your Lan IP Adress, double click your connection (it's located in the right bottom corner of you screen, looks like 2 computers), then you will have a window called "Local Area Connection Status", click the "support" tab. There you will see your IP Adress. Then send to all your friens outhere who wanna acces your website the link: http://_here_you_write_your_IP_adress (without the underscores). All the Best !

Now you have your own dns server to use, there may be some programs for windows but you are way better off with linux, and you can even use ssh to drop the keyboard and monitor and throw it in a closet on the network. And well you could easily use a p2 maybe a p1 with the right distro.
