I recently installed Apache/PHP/Mysql on win 98 and it worked like a charm. Love the environment. The site I am developing will go alive on a Unix box but to help my learning curve I have set up this Windows 98 local network for developing and testing. How do I get the other computers to find //localhost/. It works fine on the one Apache is set up on. The other computers use this computer to connect to the Internet. Tried looking for tutorials and in the manuals but I am too ignorant to know what the key words to look for are. Any directions would be appreciated.

Remote machines will not be able to access the web server using "localhost". "localhost" is a special address only available locally to each machine. Can you access your Apache server using the machine name (and port if necessary) instead of "localhost"? (EG - http://mymachine:82) If you can then remote machines should be able to as well, unless you have specifically restricted access to this server.
