The reason why it happens is IPV6. Windows 8 is by default an IPV6-first Operating System. How? Well just go to command-prompt and run the command

ping localhost

You will be getting response from ::1 i.e. the loopback address for IPV6. When you try to connect to the server it uses the port 80 along with IPV6 to locate it.

goto: your-wamp-installation-folder\bin\apache\Apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf

Replace: Listen 80

With: Listen 0.0.0.0:80

Note: have tested for Apache2.2.21 and 2.2.22
