Can't ping my Ubuntu!

this is all my professor taught us to setup Apache,
And it works in the school lab. What else we need to configure?

1.: How to install Apache HTTP Server for HTTP (Web) Server service?

sudo apt-get install apache2

test: http://localhost

iv never had to setup apache so i dont know the details.

i suggest reading the documentation that came with it or reading it on the official site, and see if the instructions given to you missed something.

its odd that you can access it from the local machine but not from another computer. you said computer B can ping A, now, and vice versa?

yes, that's why I don't think it's apache's problem since I can access the test page using the same machine. It says if you can do http://localhost/, then it means apache is working fine.
That's why I am thinking about the connection problem.
But I've already allowed all traffics to get in by typing : #iptables -F.

And I've just installed a firewall, and allowing www services on port 80, and still not work.

you said the computers can each ping each other?

yes, they can ping each other.
but when visiting the page on the apache server from other machine, it says page not found.

again, im not familiar with apache as iv never had to set it up or look into it. search google.com/linux for appropriate search terms. look in your configuration files too.
sorry cant help further, hope someone whos familiar with apache can comment
