Where is the shared drive?
to run an Intranet, you need networked machines.
One machine should run the web server, say Apache; PHP and MySQL can also
be installed on that one machine.
The machine will have an IP address on the network. you need a method of
letting the other machines on the network know that IP address, at the
basic level you could enter a fictitious domain name into each hosts file
mapped to the server IP address ( assuming windows )
more about your network and how the machines access the "shared" drive
would help with an informed answer.
