You need to know the Apache server ip address in order to access it from other computer. "localhost" is for use on the local machine.

To find the ip address of the machine got Start > Run and type in cmd and hit okay this will bring up the command prompt.

At the prompt type ipconfig and hit enter. Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection just under that you will see IP Address and the 4 set of number to the right of it. That is your IP address, use that address on the other machines in the web browser so connect to your apache webserver.
