I have a Vista box ("A") that I have installed XAMPP on. The web server is working fine, and on the box, I can access web pages via http:\\localhost.

From another client machine ("B") on the same subnet as box A, I attempt to access the website via DNS Name and IP. I can ping both successfully. However, I get a
"Webpage cannot be found" message. I can access shares on box A from box B as well. Additionally I've turned the firewall off on both machines. UAC is off on both as well.

I've done quite a bit of research on the web, tried some things here and there, and no cigar. Any ideas? Is there something in Apache configuration that I am failing to do to access this site remotely? Is there a security issue in Vista on either machine that I could be missing?
