access my apache server from my own computer , I typed
'http://localhost/index.php', and when I typed
http://192.168.2.100/index.php' it is also ok, However when I tried to
access the apache server from my another computer from ieexplorer typing
http://192.168.2.100/index.php'  it can't open phpinfo(0 page, 
Please tell me how to config my apache server so as to access it from

No, I'm sorry, this is not my area of expertise.
You may have more luck on a Linux forum for that one.

That is probably not an Apache problem.  If Apache responds correctly 
when called from the same computer, then Apache is fine.

Your problem is probably that something is blocking accesses to the port 
80 of your computer, when trying to access it from another computer.
Check the firewall settings for example, or SELinux, or /etc/hosts.deny 
or whatever may be in the way.

 From the other computer, try the following :
- open a command window
- type "ping 192.168.2.100"
   Does that work ?
- if yes, then try "telnet 192.168.2.100 80"
   Does that work, or do you get an error ?
