Ah. So say I'm running a webserver on my machine and I want other computers on my lan to access it I would just create an entry with a name and next to it the ip of the machine running the web server?

For example, if my web server is say 192.168.1.3 the entry would look something like the following?

192.168.1.3 //webserver

?

No, the hosts file is only for the local machine that it resides on. To allow machines on your network to access your webserver by name use DNS.
