I was wondering would it be possible to set it up as a LAN server so that any of the other computers at home can connect to it as a website...


pretty sure that says so that any computers at home can connect to it..?
if all he needs is for the computers on his LAN to connect, aka the computers behind his router, than anyone in front of his router, like us, dont need to connect to it. so no, he doesn't need to know his external ip address.

Uhm, huh?

If he is on a home internet connection, he *has* an external IP; he simply needs to NAT, which is handled by the port forwarding.
