Assuming you're both on the same LAN, you could probably just tell them your
local hostname, but you could also just use your IP address instead of the
host name. For instance, at a shell prompt take the result you get from
executing "hostname" and form a URL like "http://myhostname:portnumber/..."
(you'll have to know what port number apache is running on).  Similarly, if
you take the IP address of your box (you can get this from "ifconfig"), you
can use that instead of the hostname.
