[users@httpd] Can't connect to Apache HTTP server on Windows XP machine from a different machine on LAN

[kartikay malhotra]

Hi All!

I am both a windows and Linux user. Previously I installed Apache HTTP Server for Linux. It works like a dream. I can connect to HTTP Server on my local machine from any machine on my LAN.

I tried the same with windows. I downloaded and installed Apache 2.2 for windows (XP), and I ran the service. Although I can access my local machine using http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1 or through its IP address ( http://107.108.89.158), I cannot connect from any other machine in my LAN. Why so?

Please advise as to how to connect to my machine using http://107.108.89.158/ from a different machine on LAN.

Many Thanks
KM

P.S. Please suggest changes in the conf file, IIS, etc...
