wine users - Feb 2012 - Does wine accepts "hosts" file?

Hi,

running wine-1.3.24 on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit

I noticed "..\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" file does not exist.
Will it work as in Windows if I create one?


TIA

Wine does not provide Internet Services directly.  It uses Linux's
Internet services.  If you need to add a host that is not resolved by
a public DNS server, you have to add it to the Linux host file.

Thanks for your reply

This file /etc/hosts (http://linux.die.net/man/5/hosts) is then responsible
