Accessing apache2.4 server through WiFi / WLAN inside home network

Question

I have netgear 1500 wifi DSL router having private IP 192.168.1.1. I am running apache 2.4 in my desktop PC having IP 192.168.1.2 and my laptop has an IP 192.168.1.3. While I try to access the apache server as http://192.168.1.2:80/index.html I get a message requested URL /index.html not found, while it shows up properly when I access is as localhost. I have done port forwarding for port:80 and firewalls are stopped. I have quickheal running in the same machine in which apache runs. Both machines are windows.

What do I need to do so that I can access the server from my laptop?

I have added the privileges through http.conf also.

I see another problem - when I ping the desktop machine, which runs the server, the request is timed out.

Thanks

The problem has been solved. Skype and antivirus are using port 80. Making apache listen to other port - like 8080 solved the problem.

I learned that apache "does not" share a port with other applications.

Hope someone else might be helped from this.
