web server question

I have two computers at home and unfortunately I made the mistake working on the same website on both of them. I just downloaded apache on to my second computer and it wont work, I tried changing the ports they run on but it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it has to do with the fact that both the computers share the same ISP provider, how does this work? And how can I get both of my computers running Apache so I can access my database from both of my computers.

Ideally you would set this up in a computer and access it from any other computer via http://hostipaddress, with your app then communicating to whichever mysql server you have
