WordPress Localhost Url

You can not access the site through Apache IP address?

I'm using EasyPHP because I really do not want to do all the things set up, but I still have problems. I have a WordPress site on my local computer and it works if I type localhost in the url does not work if I write in the IP.It says he could not connect. Yeh and I'm using my external IP address, but its still not working. So, how do I do? Help please. Thanks:)

I bet you're back a router. When trying to access the "outside" IP address, the stops of the first application on the router, and if the router does not know what to do with the application, not completes the connection. Must be configured to redirect the HTTP port to the machine running the Apache server. Press the Windows key + R to open the dialog Run and type "cmd" and press enter. When the command prompt window opens, you will see * * Local IP address should be 192.168.xx (This is the numerical equivalent of "localhost") by typing this address into your browser, you should be able to upload your site. If you want to see their website using your external IP address, you must configure port forwarding on the router. If you have Web-based configuration of the router, try going to http://192.168.2.1 or http://192.168.1.1 - routerpasswords.com go if you do not know your login and want to try the defect, or consult the manual. Once in the settings of your router, you want to forward port 80 (HTTP port) to the computer hosting the Apache server. Then you want to make sure that both the router and Windows firewall will allow traffic through the port 80 through. If you need to access your server through a domain name (eg mysite.com) also have to configure the HOSTS file for access to local navigation, which is located in C: WINDOWS System32 Drivers ETC - Open this file in Notepad and add the following Online: mysite.com 192.168.xx where the IP address matches the local IP address matches your domain mysite.com. This tells your computer to the local IP address is host of "mysite.com and send requests, otherwise they too impasse on the router.
