I'm not the most knowledgeable guy ever with networking, but here goes...
I've created an application with NodeJS and I'd like to test the application on my LAN with my family. The application listens on port 1337 for connections and I can access the application fine through my own PC by typing localhost:1337, 192.168.0.3:1337 or even http://joel-pc:1337/ into my browser's address bar.
I will be also be running apache alongside NodeJS, and I can access this fine by typing 192.168.0.3 or http://joel-pc/ into a browser's address bar as long as it's connected to the same network.
Now here's the weird part; If I stop the apache service, change my node application to listen on port 80 (http) insted of 1337, it will be accessible on my pc by typing localhost, 192.168.0.3 or even http://joel-pc into my browser's address bar. However, I still can't access NodeJS on any other PC on my network apart from my own.
I've tried creating an outbound rule within Windows 7 to allow access to port 1337, but I still can't get access to my NodeJS server on any other PC than my own, even if it's listening on port 80. Is there something obvious I'm missing out on here?
