Setting up server for local network

I'm developing a php application for a client who has a small network in their offices. They use dsl, and do not have static ips. What I want to do is set up a virtual server on one of their machines and have a shortcut on each PC on the network to go to the server's ip address, where it would access the php application.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I haven't had much luck finding info so far.

If it's being used only inside the office, the easiest solution is likely going to be to use an office-internal IP (probably something in the 192.168.x.x range; check RFC 1918 [mirrors.rcn.net] for the IP ranges that they *might* be using internally, or ask their networking team). If they have internal DNS running, they may be able to set up hostname -> ip stuff for the internal IPs as well.
