You may replace the ip address by computer name like "http://<computername>:<portnumber>/"

This is usually done by using an HTTP server (like Apache ).
Use Virtual Host configuration to map a web application name of your choice with your http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9080/abc.
For reference visit Apache Virtual Host Documentation
