I’m afraid I’m not much help with regard to IIS on XP, but it is possible that you have multiple websites defined.
A default one, which IIS preinstalls, and then one for your wordpress pages which is set only to display if accessing from localhost…
in the properties of each site you should be able to define access restrictions, and check to see whether two sites have been created to use the same port (80) if that’s the case, then you may need to either remove one of them, or use host headers, that is… define a name for the computer running the site, then plug that name into the website properties in IIS.
I’d poke around with that, until someone more clued up comes along to post something actually useful.
This is not a WP question. Its a network config thing.
The only part that affects WP is this: what URI values do you enter in admin > Options > General. And that’s just common sense.

still can’t get it running on other pc’s, but when i Type
http://166.213.187.45 (the address of the WAMP server) it gives me the WAMP5 homepage of the server. after that I click wordpress under my projects then the URL redirects to http://localhost/worpress. which gives me an error
HTTP 404 – File not found

Moshu nailed it… re-read his post.
you need to enter the IP of the PC in wordpress options with /wordpress after it, or whatever the location actually is, when viewing from another PC.
