Allright this driving me nuts! I have spent couple of hours trying to find a solution of how to access my Wordpress site from outside my network, when no easy solution was found I'm OK with just being able to accessing it from another device within my network. It turned out to be a tricky part as well. I just don't know how to configure this.

I run virtual hosts using WAMP likeso:

In httpd-vhosts.conf:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "I:\web_dev\wordpress"
    ServerAlias wordpress.local
    ServerName wordpress.local
    <Directory "I:\web_dev\wordpress">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require local
    </Directory> 
</VirtualHost>

My httpd.conf file is set to port 80:

Code:
ServerName localhost:80

Hostsfile:

Code:
127.0.0.1 wordpress.local

If I now want to access this from another computer or my mobile that are in my network, how do I achieve this?
