Set-up a workgroup and you can access your files anywhere on the network.

If you see the other computers in the lan, turn on file sharing on each computer and the shared folders should be seen for each computer. If you want more folders to be seen right click them and share them.

you forgot to open port 80 for the internal network...

opening the port on the host computer should do and you would connect via the internal ip (192.168.1.2)
