That's because localhost is 127.0.0.1, which means "This computer" and not a computer in the network See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

If you want to access your LAMS server from another computer in the network you should use the IP of the computer where the LAMS server is installed.

Additionally, you need to change the Server URL variable. Login in you LAMS server as sysadmin, go to the Sysadmin menu and then click on "Edit Configuration Settings".

In there, look for the server URL and replace the http://localhost:8080/lams/ to http://{your-server-ip-here}:8080/lams/

Thanks,
