Win8 installed Apache, this machine can access, LAN other machines cannot access

Under the VISTA/WIN8 system, due to the system security restrictions, our own Apache or IIS server in the local area network, other people's machines can not be accessed, the solution is as follows:

Click Advanced Settings on the left side of Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall

Click the left inbound rule, then click the new rule on the right, and then in the Incoming Rule wizard that pops up

Rule type: Port

Protocols and ports we chose the TCP protocol and the specific local port (example: 80)

Action: Allow connection

When to apply a rule with all (domain, public, private) selected

Enter a name and description

Click Finish, OK.

With the above settings, other computers on the same LAN can use your IP address to access the server you have built.
