Error 403 when accessing 'localhost'?

I've tried installing WAMP both as a package and individually on my computer, but I keep getting a 403 error saying I don't have permission to access / on this server.

I am on a wireless home internet connection and am the admin of this PC, but it doesn't seem to be working.

My firewall is set to allow the programs and so on, so that's not it...

I know this isn't much info, but I don't really know what else to say.

Any ideas?

403 is almost guaranteed to be a web server configuration issue. If you are using apache, check for .htaccess files in the directories you are trying to access and their parent directories. Also check your virtual host configuration directives, if you have any.
