linux is different than Windows. It is looking in the host file for your localhost server, not DNS.
do a ifconfig to see if you have any DNs Server Assigned. if you have a firewall make sure that DNS can be received by the server. you can also do a netstat -an and see if your sever is connection to port 53 A.
