How to access PHP/web page within LAN

[amir4oracle]

I have two computers with the following attributes:

Linux: 210.168.10.3
Windows: 210.168.10.2

Both ping each other just fine.

but on Windows in IE when I say:

http://210.168.10.3/phpinfo.php

it gives: "The page cannot be displayed" error

on Linux (210.168.10.3) itself it works both ways:

http://210.168.10.3/phpinfo.php

http://localhost/phpinfo.php

there is no web server active on Windows, I have tried all the combinations in LAN settings.

Can you tell me, how to access PHP/web page within LAN?

Your help is highly appreciated.

you need to check whether the webserver on the linux box is configured to accept requests from boxes other than itself. typically this is in the httpd.conf file.

i found the file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
but what is the name of the parameter i am looking for.

I went through the contents of the file and found good things but could not find anything in particular related to the requests other than itself.

or if elsewhere kindly let me know

it will look like DENY FROM or ALLOW FROM

as a test if, from another machine you launch a telnet session and try to attach to port 80 of the linux box

telnet 210.168.10.3 80

what result do you get?
