Connecting to local Server (easyphp) over LAN

Hey,

On my main machine (192.168.0.3, running XP), I am running EasyPHP web server, which on the main machine I can access fine at [localhost]

I want to now connect to that server from another computer (192.168.0.5, running Vista (have also tried an XP machine)) on my local network.

I can ping 192.168.0.3 perfectly well from 192.168.0.5 and browse through Window's Network Explorer. I can also view in browser shared network items, e.g file:///192.168.0.3/music/

However [192.168.0.3] returns Page Load Error / Connection Interrupted / This document contains no data.

So, I figure the EasyPHP server isn't watching on the PC's Ip address (only localhost).

What step have I missed to be able to connect to the web server from the network?

The network is connected through a standard home router.

Many thanks in advance

all sorted, added new Listen ip address to apache config file.
