title: Access Wamp 3.1 from PC in local network
body: <p>I know there have been a lot of questions regarding this topic, but I still was not able to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>I've set up a Wordpress site and a virtual host for that site locally on my notebook (via Wamp 3.1) and now I want to access it from another PC on the same network. On the localhost everything works fine.</p>
  
  <p>My <code>httpd-vhosts.conf</code> file looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code># Virtual Hosts
  #
  
  #Wamp
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
    DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
    &lt;Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/"&gt;
   Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
      Require local
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  #Hp1
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      ServerName hp1.local
      DocumentRoot "d:/wamp64/www/hp1"
      &lt;Directory  "d:/wamp64/www/hp1"&gt;
  Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
          AllowOverride All
          Require local
          Require ip 192.168.100.76
      &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've added <code>192.168.100.88 hp1.local</code> (the ip of notebook) to my PC's host file. 192.168.100.76 is the ip of my PC. </p>
  
  <p>I can ping my PC from my notebook and vice versa.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to access the site via</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://192.168.100.88
  and 
  http://hp1.local
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But to no avail. Not even a 403 or anything, just </p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  Thinks I've tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Put an inbound rule for port 80 in place (on my PC)</li>
  <li>Deactivated the firewall (on my PC)</li>
  <li>Added Apaches httpd.exe to my hosts firewall exceptions (solution)</li>
  </ul>
