Do you get the XAMPP Welcome page when you type only:
http://computer_A_IP_address
Check in your httpd.conf file for this line:
- Code: Select all
Listen *:80
If the line is
Listen 80 or similar then try and change it to the above
Listen *:80 and then save the file and restart Apache.
This change is an IP wild card so that Apache will listen for a connection from any IP and has been known to fix some quirky connection issues.
EDIT:
Not sure about this one as I don't have a home network.
You may also have to add an entry to your Windows HOSTS file in .\Windows\system32\drivers\ext folder similar to this:
your.A.computer.Ip localhost
There may also be a HOSTS file entry needed in the B Computer but a network guru may provide more on these HOSTS file entries for you.
