Open up Windows Firewall, go to the Apache rule that probably already exists, and allow access on whatever network you're using (eg, Work or Private). Then go to the machine on the remote computer with http://computername (the computer's name). Odds are Apache will serve your site. If you get a It Works or you see the wrong site then you need to alter your virtualhost with a "ServerAlias computername" and restart.

If that's not working then post a screenshot of the Windows Firewall settings that includes the Apache line (don't bother with the screenshot if it's not in there) and also post your virtualhost configuration. As well as a description of what's going wrong, of course.

Can we access by giving IP address of that WAMP server system from any computer(not in a workgroup or LAN)???

Outside the workgroup sure, that's just a Windows concept.
Outside the LAN subnet but still inside the LAN sure, as long as you configure your network such that the address is accessible everywhere.
Outside the LAN entirely, no, not by the IP address.

Ask whomever is managing your network to get things set up in the way you want.
