I changed C:\neo4j\conf\neo4j.conf like this (and it fixed it):

#*****************************************************************
# Network connector configuration
#*****************************************************************

# With default configuration Neo4j only accepts local connections.
# To accept non-local connections, uncomment this line:
dbms.default_listen_address=192.168.1.5

I got the 192.168.1.5 from ipconfig:

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::34b8:a979:7171:9e8c%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Here is what you need to do: -

  1. Uncomment "org.neo4j.server.webserver.address" and provide a valid IP-Address on which you want to bind your neo4j http service at port 7474 in your neo4j-server.properties and restart your neo4j server.
  2. Try accessing you Neo4j server on local machine by entering URL - http://:7474/ (Do not use localhost).
  3. Switch off all firewalls and ensure :7474 is accessible from any remote machine. You may test it with Telnet too.

In case all the above works then you are done and your Neo4j server is accessible from remote machine.

I think you'll need to configure your conf/neo4j-server.properties file to allow access from non-localhost addresses. Here's the relevant part of my file:

# Let the webserver only listen on the specified IP. Default is localhost (only
# accept local connections). Uncomment to allow any connection. Please see the
# security section in the neo4j manual before modifying this.
#org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
