IP can be any LAN or WAN IP address  But you ll want to set your firewall connection allow it   Device connection with webserver pc can be by LAN or WAN  i e by wifi  connectify  adhoc  cable  mypublic wifi etc   You should follow these steps    Go to the control panel Inbound rules   new rules Click port   next   specific local port   enter 8080   next   allow the connection   Next   tick all  domain  private  public    specify any name Now you can access your localhost by any device  laptop  mobile  desktop  etc   Enter ip address in browser url as 123 23 xx xx 8080 to access localhost by any device    This IP will be of that device which has the web server

Actualy you don t need an internet connection to use ip address  Each computer in LAN has an internal IP address you can discover by runing   ipconfig  all   in cmd   You can use the ip address of the server  probabily something like 192 168 0 x or 10 0 0 x  to access the website remotely   If you found the ip and still cannot access the website  it means WAMP is not configured to respond to that name   what did you call me  192 168 0 3  That s not my name  I m Localhost   and you have to modify        apache config httpd conf  Listen   80

You have to edit httpd conf and find this line  Listen 127 0 0 1 80  Then write down your desired IP you set for LAN  Don t use automatic IP  e g   Listen 192 168 137 1 80  I used 192 167 137 1 as my LAN IP of Windows 7  Restart Apache and enjoy sharing
