Cant connect to localhost using local IP (WAMP)?

m trying to access my wamp server over my LAN. The server is on my desktop and the IP of my desktop is 192.168.2.6 on my laptop i've edited the host file to #127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.2.6 localhost When I query localhost, I get directed as normal and i'm shown to my desktop wamp index and i can access all sites through this. However when I query 192.168.2.6 I get: "the requested URL / was not found on this server." My laptop IP is 192.168.2.4 and when thats running wamp I can query the IP and it shows me all the files but it doesnt work the other way around This normally wouldnt be a problem as i can just query 'localhost' but on my android device I cant edit the hosts file without the device been rooted so need to find away of accessing via IP Can anyone shed some light on what could be the problem?
