wamp works on localhost but not machine name

[dkemas]

I want to move some web systems over to a new machine.

The machine is all set up, wamp installed and working fine, files copied over.

When I view

http://localhost/

all works fine
When I view

http://127.0.0.1

all works fine
When I try to view

http://machinename/

(on the server and over the network) I get the error;

http 403 forbidden
Most likely causes:
•This website requires you to log in.

This server used to be viewed over the network but has suddenly stopped in the last few weeks.

I have completedly removed wamp and installed again, same situation.

The message sounds permission based, but I gave the wamp folder everyone access and still no change.

Has anyone seen this before, google is throwing nothing back for me.

Thanks

does not sound like a php question, tbh.

Sounds like an Apache misconfiguration rather related to PHP I suggest you post in forum65.

Also can you ping the server by name correctly? Does it resolve to the correct IP address? Does it work through the Actual iP address of the server rather than the name?
