Can't access xampp server through another device in lan/wifi

I have just set up a wi-fi network at home. I have all my files on my desktop computer (192.168.1.33) and want to access localhost over there from another computer (192.168.1.2).

On my desktop I can access localhost through the normal [http://localhost] or [http://192.168.1.33]. Apache is running on port 80 as usual.

But I can't access it on my mobile or laptop connected to same wifi network using [http://192.168.1.33].

I am using Dlink DSL 2750U modem.

Solution

  • you need to change your visiblity status, make sure wireless devices are visible to wireline ones and it will work fine
