I put wampserver 3.0.6 online but not reachable from 2nd PC

Question

I've put WampServer 3.0.6 online, updated my http-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.comparetherapies.dev
    ServerAlias www.comparetherapies.dev
    DocumentRoot C:/Users/steve/Dropbox/WAMP/WWW/comparetherapies
    <Directory  "C:/Users/steve/Dropbox/WAMP/WWW/comparetherapies">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and added a line to a second PC's hosts file:

10.0.0.14 www.comparetherapies.dev

where 10.0.0.14 is the IP of the first PC with WampServer.

However, when I try to load www.comparetherapies.dev in the second PC's browser, I receive a connection timed out error.

Help appreciated.

I looked at the first PC's Windows Firewall, and noticed no rule allowing Apache through the Firewall.

Adding a Windows Firewall exception on the first PC, (both private & public) for c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\bin\httpd.exe allowed me to view the website from the second PC.
