i would like to create web browser access to a computer on my lan?

Question

i am trying to access a computer on my lan as a server i have no idea how regular servers are accessed so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If you mean you want to run a web server on your machine, then check out apache, it is a good one. You install it on the "server" computer. If you wanted access from the internet, outside your lan, then that is more work.

Answer 2

****If this is your WORK computer, do NOT attempt this. You could disrupt the entire network and cause major problems. Ask your computer support person to assist you with this.****

Assuming both computers are on the same network...
Go to the "server" computer and set up file serving for whatever drive or folders you want to access from your computer
Go to yout computer and click on the My Network Places
View the entire network
You should be able to see the other computer
Double click on it

Answer 3
