OK, its been a long time since I've set this up and I must be missing something.
This is my host file:
192.168.0.101 warthog.de warthog
But when I try to use FF to go to warthog or warthog.de it times out. When I use www.warthog.de I get some odd dating site. I checked my Apache server is up and running. So I must be missing something.
First, ping warthog to check that the IP address above is really used by your system and that the network interface is activated. When that works, telnet warthog 80 Output should be Trying 192.168.0.101... Connected to warthog. Escape character is '^]'. Then enter GET / and the HTML code of your Apache homepage should be output on the terminal. If that works, check the proxy configuration of FF, that it doesn't use a proxy for warthog or warthog.de. That's configured in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings. That www.warthog.de doesn't work is clear, you didn't add that name in your hosts file, and warthog.de is an officially registered domain by a Swedish guy with a DNS record for that server. You saw that server's Web site then.
