Apache Web Server

I have an Apache web server running php and mySQL setup using wampserver on a Windows XP pro machine. This is networked with a few others around the house, how can I view my webpages from other PC's on the network? I'm a bit of a n00b so sorry for the stupid question.

I've set up sites using Windows 2003 Server and ISS but never used Apache before.

That's the first thing I tried but I get an error 403 telling my access is unauthorised, any ideas? Do apache settings need to be changed?

I do and it's the right directory and correct DirectoryIndex also... puzzled.

Everything now works on the local machine using either localhost, the server name or the IP Address, the whole set up is networked and I can access files and see other machines.

Other machines can find the web servers shared folders by typing //SERVER/Foldername or using the IP address and it's in network places, but when trying that in a web browser with an http protocol i.e http://SERVER or using the IP address I just get Page Cannot be Displayed...

Still puzzled!
