In all windows versions for localhost on lan base domain names use the 
"hosts" file. The hosts file is the lookup table that each windows pc 
uses befor it querries a dns server. Note that you might want to use the 
ip address of your network card and not the loopback ip of 127.0.0.1 and 
copy the setting to the hosts files of the other pc's on your lan. So 
the can view the pages you are serving. This is all so needed if you are 
running an e-mail server over a lan.

sample of hosts file

127.0.0.1  localhost
127.0.0.1  mycomputername
127.0.0.1  john.mycomputername
127.0.0.1  jack.mycomputername
