title: Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network - how to?
body: <p>I have just set up a wi-fi network at home. I have all my files on my desktop computer (192.168.1.56) and want to access localhost over there from another computer (192.168.1.2).</p>
  <p>On my desktop I can access localhost through the normal http://localhost. Apache is running on port 80 as usual.</p>
  <p>What do I have to do to achieve this? There is documentation on the net but they either don't work or are too fragmented and confusing to understand.</p>
  <p>I think I have to make changes to my apache's httpd.conf file and the hosts file. Any ideas as to what changes to make?</p>
