I setup apache on my local server (192.168.1.105), and opened port 80 for
192.168.1.103 (my laptop)
by opening ff and asking for address 192.168.1.105 I got the default
index.html in /var/www on the server.
If you can't get port 80 to bite on your other local machines, try adding
one of their ip's to your fw rules for accept port 80 and see if it works
locally.
unless /myserver.net/ is set in the other machines' hosts files, they won't
find it except by ip address.
