I have set up Apache on my Windows 7 PC. Now I have it working fine on the PC, by going to localhost or the IP (192.168.1.71). However when I go to my Mac I try to connect to it via its IP and it doesn't connect. I have also tried this on another computer.

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.71

Now is there something wrong with the code in the Apache httpd file?

EDIT:

I have also tried to ping the IP address and it works fine.

Can the mac ping the IP? Is your windos firewall configured to aceept connections on port 80? Can apache open other ports? – Konerak Mar 4 '11 at 21:45
Belongs on serverfault. Not a programming question, so off-topic here. – Ken White Mar 4 '11 at 21:50

I guess the Windows firewall blocks external connections to port 80. You should explicitly open the port in the configuration.
