XAMPP is great and I have been using it since about 2002 or 2003 and I love it. you can also access your server with http://localhost/ThenTheFolderOrFileName.php from the other machines or even http://NameOfComputerWithApache/ThenTheFolderOrFileName.php try that and see what you get!

That may be beacuse of firewall..
Check whether some other firewall software is installed in your system or not!
(Some antivirus softwares comes with integrated firewall software)
check them also!
If the problem is still there then try the following method:

If you installed the IIS in your system , then open IIS by going to Control panel >> administrative Tools and from there open IIS!
Check whether your folder is displayed in the tree view or not!
If its displayed there, then right click the folder, select permission wizard
and select template option and change the setting to "public website"
check it after changing the permission!

Ok give this program a try..
It will list all the ports that are open on your pc and the programs that are using them..

Fport

Run this on all the pcs and see if port 80 is working properly..

Maybe try to define the apache port as something other than port 80...you may have somethign else trying to use the port at the same time...

Forgot to mention one thing! Are you using any proxy server?
Thenin the client, goto: IE>> tools >> Connections >> Lan Settings >>
tick : "Bypass proxy server for local address"
then select Advanced!
you can find one test area with the label "exceptions"
there enter your server (where files are hosted) IP address! cool.gif

One more thing to verify.
Have a look at the httpd.conf file (the apache config file for the httpd daemon) and look who is listening.
Open the file with what you want (notepad is enough)
Look for the word "Listen"
Look if it is "Listen localhost 80"
or if it is "Listen 192.168... something
If it is "listen localhost", that means the server can be accessed only from the local keyboard.
Usually, this is the default value, any apache distro you use you will probably face the same issue.

Yordan
