Two things spring to mind:  You don't have the server listening to the
interface you're trying to use on that machine.  You're trying to
connect to an external address, and your network doesn't loop around
that way.

Post your Apache configuration details, particularly what it listens to.
And say how you're trying to connect to it?  (External network address,
local network IP, localhost address, by named or IP address, etc.)
