Forbidden error when accessing wamp from local network - apache

Question

Okay now, this problem has been driving me crazy for a week! I hope we will find a solution together.
I am trying to configure my wamp server to run on a local network (be accessable from a local network). Specifically, I want to access a project saved in the /www folder from another computer using a local area connection. I am using Windows 7 for my wamp server. However, when I run "192.168.178.3:8080" from the other computer I get the following error:
Forbidden: You don't have permissions to access / on this server.
I am running wamp on port 8080 (port 80 is used by IIS);
My local IP address is 192.168.178.3
I'll try to explain the things I have done so far...
Changed the following in httpd.conf:
Listen 192.168.178.3:8080
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
# Online --> Require all granted
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Require local
</Directory>
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/project">
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Also, I inserted the following lines in http-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost 192.168.178:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/project"
</VirtualHost>
I've restarted everything and put the server Online but still get the same error.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

I actually managed to solve my problem.
The port 8080 seemed to be causing problems (weird right). So I reinstalled wamp and only made the following changes in the httpd.conf (using port 8070):
Listen 192.168.178.3:8070
<Directory "cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Also, I had to add an exception of this port in the Kaspersky firewall, as well as configuring the router to forward the port.
That solved it.
