I want to setup Apache with Virtual Host in Local Area Network (only two computers just for testing) running under Redhat Linux 7.2. I am able to browse using static IP address of Ethernet Card. However I want to access using www.myname.com rather than using IP address.

All instruction from Apache documentation already followed using name based and IP based virtual hosting, but still can not work.

Hopefully anyone can help me. Thanks

To do what you want you need to either edit the hosts file on the machines and set the DNS to resolve to hosts or set up a DNS server which is a project in itself.
