mj: What server are u using??

Wamp server

Simple way, put your wampserver online, create an adhoc network on the main system, let other systems connect to the network, then open your browser and type the ip address of the main system server.

But all the computers will be connected together by a wireless router.

Take note of the IP address of the main computer system that host the server, type the IP on the browser address bar of other systems, u should be seeing the applications on your wampserver.
I conducted the election of my department those days in school through this method using wlan, it is a simple process.

In addition to MJ solution. Let me elaborate his solution a little.

Since u all computers are connected to the same router. All u have to do is go to the host computer( the computer that have the wamp server installed) then click on the wamp tray and select ONLINE.

Now go to the other computers connected to the network open the command prompt and type the word "IPCONFIG" this will give u the ip of that wlan connection. Now take the ip and paste in the browser as a url. Booom that is. U are good to go.

Take Note. If u must do this restrict ur mysql database to only accept access from localhost. This will prevent unauthorise acces to the database.

Thanks
