Cannot connect to WAMP from network machines

In the new version of WAMP, it seems that the permission to connect to WAMP server has been disabled from another machines in the network. Here is the work around for it.

- Find the file 'httpd.conf'   (normal path is c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf)
- Find the below lines

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from 127.0.0.1

Replace it with


#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
     Order Allow,Deny
     Allow from all


Restart WAMP service and it will work ...
