Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network without URL changing – Apache

I have already read Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network – how to?, but I couldn’t find an answer to my question.

I have setup custom domain(virtual host like how to create virtual host on XAMPP). The local IP of this PC is 192.168.1.9 and I access to it using http://sample.test.

Now I am on another PC and it local IP addresses is 192.168.1.8. How to access http://sample.test via this PC? Is it possible to configure this pc to access to the site just using http://sample.test because URL changes(Starting URL with IP Address) break the site.

Update : I am on Windows 10 PC

    Edit host file in your client computer (Windows 10), it’s located on
    C:WindowsSystem32Driversetc.

    Add the ip and virtual domain like this and then save the file, you might have to run your text editor as administrator.
