Ok, I try ;)
You have noticed already that "SVN works even though Apache server is
stopped". That's the hint you need.
If you access the repository via a file:/// URL, then thats a _direct_
access, no server protocol is used for that and it only works locally.
To access the repository via apache, you must use either the http:// URL
or the https:// URL, depending on if you've set up SSL or not.
Oh, I'm wondering why file:////computername/SVN/Test even works? Do you
have mounted the other computer to a drive?
And one other thing:
_never_ access a repositoriy via the file:/// URL over a shared network
resource! If you use file:///, only do that on your local harddrive. To
access a repository on another computer, _only_ use http, https, svn or
svn+ssh.
