To host a HTTP server you need to forward port 80
To host a FTP server you need to forward port 21

Now if you are trying to connect to your site via your own network you need to connect to it using its local IP. To find the local IP address open the command prompt on the host computer and type "ipconfg". Exp. http://192.168.0.2
