You should configure your guest machine to use an existing network adapter, do not use NAT. If your network has a DHCP server, configure the network inside the client to automatically obtain an address, otherwise you must specify it yourself. Afterwards you can reach your client by IP address from any other PC on the network. If you operate a windows network with WINS enabled, you can also reach it via the server's hostname, otherwise configure your DNS server or edit the hosts file(s) on the servers you want to connect from. DHCP and no WINS can present a bit of a problem ;-) In that case, if you have control over your DHCP server, you might try 'fixed' DHCP addresses. After that it's just a question of configuring your web server and deploying your application - either via ftp or a shared drive (as your web server is part of your network, you can share directories on it using SMB).
