Hi I had a single computer with a apache/mysql/php set up running my dynamic website. Now I have networked another computer and I need to access this site from the new networked computer. I have no problems with static file sharing, that has worked out fine. On my original computer I used to go to IE and type in http://localhost/mywebpage.php and that was it. Can anybody tell me what I need to type into the browser of the new networked computer to get to my dynamic website on the original computer.
Help really appreciated

It could be as easy as http://name-of-computer-with-webserver...
Another option would be http://ip-of-computer-with-webserver

Have you got a firewall turned on that's blocking it? Providing you can access the Hostname and/or IP address of the computer running the web server it ahould work just fine ;)
