<DIV><SPAN class=609081420-08082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

knowing the ip address (you can use IPconfig to know your

<DIV><SPAN class=609081420-08082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Do
not use your local ip address 192.168.1.54 for example. You may, but if you
have a DHCP server that address will change in time and your localhost name
resolution will point to another computer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you would browse to <A href="http://othercomputer">http://othercomputer</A>
you would come on the website of the computer having <SPAN

naming your computer and using that name, that's what's worked for me in the
past. </FONT></DIV>
