Some basics:
In order to configure the setup, you would need a network admin (or someone with experience in network configurations) to help you with the network pointers.  If you're not running on a managed network with your own DNS servers, etc; I would hazard a guess that perhaps a configurered LMHOSTS file for your users may also do the trick.  For more info on this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150800 (there are probably better resources for this though, check google for these).
 
If you could elaborate more on which problems you're trying to solve, I can try help; but please be more specific about where in the process you're stuck.

Hi All,
 
 I am currently trying to create a virtual wiki so I can have one for our the research team and one for public view. I am having trouble creating network pointers and documents required for the database. I am using localhost and Tomcat as my servlet container and have little knowledge of networking. Please help because I do not understand the documentation well. Also, I read the site for information and it still isn't clear enough for me to solve this problem.
 
Thanks,
 
Tim
