you can always use the IP address, eg:

http://192.168.1.12/some/page.html

But if your IP address changes, than you have to change the IP you use
in the link. If you keep using the old IP your browser will not be
able to contact your server. There is no solution to this.
However, just use relative links on your webpages, and you should be fine.
