Alright I have looked high and low for an answer and it doesn't look like XAMPP's site has a very good forum so I thought I would try here.
I have recently installed XAMPP and everything works no problem from the localhost. But when I try to connect to the server from another computer using http://myip/folder/test.php the page cannot connect. These are all in network connections so no router configuration or port forwarding is needed. I installed just apache by itself from apache.org and I can access it but when it is installed by XAMPP i can only get to it if I am coming from localhost.
I have read through the httpd.conf file and it matches the default one from apache.org so I am pretty sure the problem is not there.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Firewall is open
Nope the firewall is open...I have even tried disabling it
Solution
Looks like the problem was I was using the hostname in the url from another computer. So i was trying to get to http://dan/ which has worked in the past but looks like now i have to use the ip address to get to the webserver. Such as http://192.168.0.2/
sometimes my brain doesn't work that well
