Hi Ken,

you should be able to mod this line:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

Keep the ordering the same but add "Allow From 192.168.1.0/24" if your
LAN is 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, as below.

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>

This will let you get in from your localhost and LAN.

See this for an explanation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_access.html#order

It's a little twisted logic at first but makes sense in the end.

HTH,

Ben
