I have installed Q2A and created my database. I have tested by asking a question. I then registered a user and answered the question. I did all this from my machine using "localhost".

I went to the wampserver icon an clicked "put online". Now I have another user try to connect to my machine but he has no access. How do I open the site up for anyone to get to it?

We tried browsing to my machine on the network http://mywindowsbox/questino2answser but that failed. So we tried the ip address of my machine but could still not connect.

This may be a firewall issue.  Try changing your Windows firewall settings to allow TCP port 80 inbound from other systems on the network.

Here is some more information:
