After installing wampserver 3.0.6 on windows 8, it would seem that I cannot reach it from another pc or phone (they're connected with the same network). The message displayed in the navigator when trying to reach the server from another device (reach by typing the ipv4 adress in the navigator) is :

This site can’t be reached

192.168.x.x took too long to respond.

not the Forbidden : access denied window !

  • Where is the site located in the folder structure? Do you have a Virtual Host defined for the site? – RiggsFolly Jun 19 '17 at 14:40

  • Also suggest update to WAMPSever 3.0.8. The upgrade will not effect you site(s) or the versions of Apache/MySQL/PHP that you have installed or are using – RiggsFolly Jun 19 '17 at 15:06
  • I already did all of the mentioned in the post you sent, yet it doesn't seem like the usual *wamp accebility issue* , I tried several things, but, still I can't find the problem. Could it be that **Windows 8** is causing this problem ? – kimovic Jun 19 '17 at 18:39
  • I have the same problem, have you found the solution? – Lim Socheat Apr 10 '18 at 03:43

I solved this problem by allowing port 80 or any port that you use in firewall.

  1. Open Windows Firewall
  2. New Inbound Rules
  3. Choose Port option, click next
  4. Choose TCP, Specific local ports: 80
  5. Finished.
