XAMPP [HELP]

[bluegman991]

ok so i have instaled xampp on my computer everything is working fine except

i want to be able to access my site through the internet so my friends can help me check for bugs in pages

i can access the site fine from my computer but im the only one that can see i can get to it throught i can get to it via localhost,127.0.0.1,my ip , or my dns

but when someone else try's to get throught it by my dns or ip address its not found i even tried getting to it via proxy

i did some looking into it and read something about doing something to port:80

how and what would i do to fix this?

You need to portforward, I can help you do this if you contact me on msn :)

Does it work now? It's possible, but I kinda doubt it though. If it works, good for you though! :D

let me know if you need more information on this topic.
