I'm running XAMPP on Vista Home Premium

My wife can see the XAMPP start page from her laptop by putting my machine's LAN IP address in but I can't see the pages with either localhost or 127.0.0.1. I can also see the pages by putting my own IP (192.168.0.*) into the browser.

Anyone any ideas what might be causing this strange glitch?

Checkout the browser settings mentioned in this post:

Also check your configuration settings in your router for localhost and IP 127.0.0.1.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking localhost or IP 127.0.0.1 - temporarily disable firewall and virus scanner for the test only.
