Disable "computer name" lookup on LAN

This seems to be a simple question, but I couldn't find any solution
even after googling.

How to disable computer name based lookup if all the systems are
connected in LAN. For example,

http://joe/foo.php . Here one can use the file in system "joe" even
from other system say "brown" and vice-versa. Anyway to disable this
option? TIA

Forgive my ignorance. Do you mean to disable DNS under TCP/IP
settings? If so, that doesn't work (for me).

Also, if we do so, wouldn't it affect our internet browsing? I
mean, is there anyway to do it under Apache itself?

answer = you can't as the lan network pc's broadcast the netbios name and would still get to web server.

You could however just listen apache on 127.0.0.1 port 80 and NOTHING Else

Many thanks. I changed

Listen 80
to
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Now it seems to do the trick. Thanks.
