    generic localhosts question

    Does anyone know how to configure virtual hosts so that you can load a website running on your computer (localhost) on any computer in the local network?
    I'm at my school right now with my website on my laptop (which has apache2 installed) and I need to present the website I've been working on this semester. I can't put it on the school's computer for the presentation because they don't have php or mysql installed (most of the semester is learning about HTML and flash). I'm currently connected on my laptop to the school's wireless (I can connect to their network through the LAN if needed).

    if your apache server is running any you haven't closed the ports using iptables or UFW then anyone on the lan should be able to connect to you by your ip address.

    I currently don't even have a firewall on my computer running. I suppose it could be a closed port on the school's internet though

    Code:
    NameVirtualHost *
    <VirtualHost *>
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    
            DocumentRoot /wwwroot/
            <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            </Directory>
            <Directory /wwwroot/>
                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    allow from all
            </Directory>
    
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /wwwroot/cgi-bin/
            <Directory "/wwwroot/cgi-bin">
                    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
                    AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl py pyc
            </Directory>
    
            ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
    
            # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
            # alert, emerg.
            LogLevel warn
    
            CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
            ServerSignature On
    
        Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
        <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order deny,allow
            Deny from all
            Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
