If you talk about the hosts file, that is not possible. If you really need Wildcard Entrys you have to set up a Nameserver.

I have no idea what Linux you are using, you just have to find the zone file for localhost. Under Debian it would be

Code: Select all

/etc/bind/db.local

Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL  604800
@ IN  SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
            1   ; Serial
       604800   ; Refresh
        86400   ; Retry
      2419200   ; Expire
       604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN  NS  localhost.
@ IN  A 127.0.0.1

Just add

Code: Select all

* IN A 127.0.0.1

at the end of the file and reload named.

The try this:

Code: Select all

nslookup somethingnotconfiguredinyourhostsfile.localhost 127.0.0.1

Either it returns you the A-RR (all OK) or NXDOMAIN (you made a mistake)

When i open www.b2b.com from another computer on LAN , it is not opening. So please kindly help me thanks.

Note: i want when someone open www.b2b.com on out network LAN, it will open website from 192.168.1.2 (server).
However 192.168.1.2 is webserver, and here www.b2b.com is opening fine.


I will be very thankful to you.

>Note: i want when someone open www.b2b.com on out network LAN, it will open website from 192.168.1.2 (server).

So forget named and bind, simply edit (again!) the /etc/hosts file on the client LAN PCs and add following line (you must do this on each PC):

192.168.1.2 www.b2b.com

www.b2b.com is hosted on 192.168.1.2 (web server) andother computer on LAN 192.168.1.7 is unable to open this.

That's far, far away from your initial post...

Either you configure the hosts-File on every computer in your network or you use the nameserver. In this case the configuration would be more complicated as it should be in combination with the DHCP-Server (do distribute the DNS-Entry in your network config) and you would have to create own zone files and a lot of other stuff. But that should be done by somebody who knows what he is doing. In your case i would prefer the solution posted by ~Nobbie~.
