Based on the above, I disagree with the conclusion of problematic routes.
If you're all in the same subnet, plugged into the same switch, then routes
should not be relevant.  (Unless you configured a static route intentionally
and incorrectly for some reason.  ;-)

If you're on the same subnet, and you telnet port 80 of the server and get
no response...  It means the server is not listening to port 80.  It could
be either the server's firewall...  Or the apache config file doesn't
specify to listen on all interfaces...  Or something like that.
