There is no telling how the other person set this up with out loging into the linux box and checking it out plus it may not be easy.

I did some digging around and I have found that my UDP ports are not listening, do these need to be enabled for me to access the site?

... I concur here.

In order to diagnose this thing I need to be sitting in front of it.
It will take more than a beginners course in LAMP servers for you to be able to properly figure anything out or even be able to communicate what you find well enough for anyone here help effectively. (There was always the chance you'd get lucky though.)

When this happens, the usual thing is to contact the guy who set it up. They will usually help out (unless they don't like the company for some reason), at worst as a paid consultant.

Next you either go to a specialist or backup the data and reconfigure the system entirely yourself. (This time - keeping to standards and documenting everything you do.) This way you stand to learn about real networking.

There are plenty of sites talking about setting up a webserver... bon apitite.

... you can certainly try. However, this is really for samba. It looks like you are listening on port 80 (http) which is what counts.

That eth0 error is probably the root of the thing, without a (properly configured) nic you cannot see the master-browser (your other error) and nobody can see you (your major symptom).

Start with how the nic gets it's IP' and work up from there.

(Maybe... shut down apache, and see if you can get the machine to browse the intranet.)
