First of all you have to see the permitions of the xampp (they are blocked by default and you can see it at php.ini if i recall well) and the firewall of the computer B. After that, you should see the port of the xampp in the computer B and you should see the localhost of that computer.

If you are doing that in differents places, you should see if your operator allow you to see a ip remotely. In some countries are blocked too.
