Michael, No, I'm referring to the Hosts VNC Server setting, which determines which hosts can make incoming connections to the server, and is configured via the VNC Server Properties dialog. The Hosts configuration box should contain "+" or "+0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0" in order to allow connections from any other machine.
The Windows hosts file specifies the name->address mapping for hosts, so that you don't need to have a DNS server in order to connect to machines by name.
