sharing xampp server across network

[jesseislil]

Not sure what forum to start this thread, so please excuse me if it is in the wrong place.

I have successfully installed xampp and have been using it to develop wordpress themes locally on my desktop computer.

How do I setup xampp server so that I can access it from different computers on the same network?

I want to access the server from two separate laptops so I don't have to sit at my desktop all day to work on these themes! I've installed xampp on every computer to work on the same project. There must be a better way. Thanks.

This should require a simple change in the httpd.conf file

So doing this should allow me to access the wordpress site from web browser on other computers on the same network, correct?

What about editing the actual files stored on desktop's local server from the other computers? How do you suggest I go about doing this?

I appreciate the timely response!
