Don't forget, with the machine shortcut in your hosts file, you can
access the webserver by just typing in that shortcut. For example, my
development box is-tob.ismedia.org shorts to is-tob on the local
network.
Also nice to do in addition to the previous post: add your clients to
your DNS so they can be accessed by name within the local network. If
your net connection is shared over the Linux box (that is, you dial up
with it), make it one of your Windows DNS servers, with your ISPs
primary and secondary the secondary and tertiary DNS in Windows.
