Apache Newbie

I am installing Apache HTTP Server 2.2 and don't know enough to answer
the configuration questions, [Newwork Domain] and [Server Name]. I am
running on a private machine and using Apache to display my locally
developed webpages before I publish them to my host server.

As such, I have not idea what to put in these field. My first guess is
the use the defaults, namely launchmodem.com and
desktop.lauchmodem.com, assuming this is just a text field with respect
to my use of Apache.

Would either confirm in guess or "straighten" me out as to what the
correct information should be.

Thanks....

Thanks for the response. The tutorial was very helpful. I do have
another
question.

I also have IIS installed so can I still use Port 80 or do I have to
use
Port 8080. It seems I read someplace that if IIS was installed, it took
Port
80. As such, I will have to use Port 8080 and start my apache sessions
with
"localhost:8080". Am I correct?

Thanks again for the response.
