  OK guys , Thanks for your support. 😀
  
  I guess my problem is solved
  
  there is one tag in httpd.conf configuration file of installed Apache Webs erver folder. change the default setting "Allow from all" to "Deny from all". Similary if you are sharing files there is tag called <
  FilesMatch> tag . do same thing with it also.
  
  For more information check following link 😀

  Yes guys the above thing worked.
  
  Those who have interest in trying it out and can arrange 3 machines check this out, it is really fun.
  
  Step 1: Download Apache Web server as a service in M/c # 1.
  
  Step 2: Keep your static pages(let it be html) in any drive in your M/c # 1. Here I am putting it Apache 2.2/htdocs location of M/c # 1. Let my folder name be "Crazy Engineers" having html pages inside it.
  
  Step 3: Now open Apache/conf folder an open httpd-conf file in it and add following entry at the end of the file and save.
  

  
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  deny from all
  allow from
  

  Step 4: Similar to step 3 , edit entry for
  from "Allow all" to "Allow from "
  
  Step 5: Save file and start the server .
  
  Step 6: Try to access the html page from M/c # 2. It will succeed.
  
  Step 7 : Try to access the html page from M/c #3. It will fail.
  
  *M/c # 1 will only be your server machine. To avoid any ports conflict make sure port no asked at the time of installation is free.
