If I have this straight:

You have your machine on a local network (I'm assuming ethernet) and it's
dialed into the isp.  You want to know how to access the webserver on your
machine from your local network.  

When you do ifconfig you should have more than one interface.  ppp0
represents how your machine looks to your isp, and eth0 represents your
machine on your local network.  Both should have an ip address assigned.
>From your internal network use the one assigned to eth0.
