I recently set up SUSE 10.1 on an older machine I have. Using XAMPP, I installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL. I then installed Drupal. I can hit Drupal successfully, no problem, by typing localhost into the browser. I can also access Drupal on another computer on my network that has the same type setup, also installed using XAMPP, but that one is running on Windows XP. So far, no problems.

The issue comes when I try to access Drupal on the SUSE machine from the other PC. I can ping the SUSE PC, no problem. But when I type the IP of the SUSE machine into my browser on the Windows PC, it times out.

Any ideas on what might be haywire?

Thanks!
 
I think your router already gave dibs on port 80 to the XP. You might try another port then use it in your browser i.e. Of course, you would use the actual ip of the suse box. The reason it works with localhost is because localhost is bound to 127.0.0.1 the loopback device and not eth0.
