Do you know that you can just use the IP address in a browser? As long
as machine 1 has a static IP address, say 192.168.1.10, you can then
enter 192.168.1.10 as the URL in any browser to reach it. (The address
has to be local or reachable through routing tables.) If you like, can
bookmark that address to make it easy to get to.
It doesn't even have to be static. You just have to know what it is.
Normally, DHCP addresses won't change, unless the lease is allowed to
expire or something forces a change.
