apache virtual host problem

[Ashley Benton]

I deleted everything, and just left, name server and server alias... in the
<VirtualHost> </VirtualHost> files.
The result is the same. I can open the link of the page I moved with Windows
but not with my computer. When I try to open the page directly Firefox and
internet explorer they write "can't find the server at LinuxAbcd.org" I
guess it's because I didn't buy a domain name for this two sites. and I will
do it later.
Now If I open (file://www.linuxabcd.org) the Swebsite or linux abcd from the
computer it is on I see my system directory.
If I try to open on the windows computer (
http://192.168.0.105/www.linuxabcd.org or
file://192.168.0.105/www.linuxabcd.org) It says "the requested URL was not
found on this server" (apache 2.2.4 Ubuntu server at 192,168.0.105 port 80
The last part I don't understand because when I installed apache2 and the
first site I was able to open it by writing the private IP of the computer
before I bought the domain name. Now shouldn't I be able to open the other
sites with the internal Ip, followed by the server name?
Does anybody see a reason why I seem to be unable to configure more than 1
virtual host?
Thank you
Meg
