I need to access my home computer from my website server via IP address. My home network includes 4 computers interconnected via a hub. My computer isn't the main computer in the network, but I need to access it via IP address. I have WAMP set up on my computer. When I enter my IP address in the browser, it pops up a log in....I don't know why it's doing that, in fact I don't know much about setting up a server. Could anyone kindly offer me any guidance?

Okay, I got this figured out. I needed to forward requests to port 80 to my machine. I did that by accessing my router via IP address. Once I did that, then it was just a matter of disabling my machines firewall, and now it works great. Maybe that'll help someone else in the future with the same problem. :)
