If you by wamp mean WampServer 3.0 or later, you activate the "online" feature this way:
1. Left-click => Apache => httpd-vhost.conf
2. Add "Require ip 192.168.0" or whatever your ip-range are to your virtualhost for CI.

This example are for the document root (not recommended). You should have a virtualhost for CI and have your mobile access the ServerName instead.

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName localhost

    ServerAlias localhost

    DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www

    <Directory  "c:/wamp/www/">

        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews

        AllowOverride All

        Require local

        Require ip 192.168.0 #This is your ip-range

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Do you know what "localhost" means?

Yes, your home is localhost. But so is any office PC, smartphone and literally every network-capable computer device on the planet.

localhost means "this computer" and can only be accessed by itself. If you try to access "localhost" on your smartphone, it will access the smartphone, so of course it won't get to your PC.
